Berlin, WOC Getting New, Steel Utility Poles

Berlin officials announced during a Mayor and Council meeting on Monday, Sept. 8, that Delmarva Power plans to replace several transmission poles in the area, requiring a four-to-six hour interruption of power on Dec. 9.

The company will replace all of the 60-65 foot wooden poles between the Worcester Substation on Old Ocean City Boulevard and Route 50 and the West Ocean City Substation on Golf Course Road with 80-90 foot steel poles. Poles in Berlin will be brown steel, and poles toward Route 611 will be galvanized steel. Delmarva Power estimates the project to run from Oct. 1 through May 2015.

The power interruption will affect more than 2,400 Berlin customers and more than 11,000 Delmarva Power Customers.
