Underwater Utility Cabling Effort Gets Underway In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY — As part of the major rebuilding of a high-voltage transmission line connecting Berlin and Ocean City, Delmarva Power crews last week began construction of new ducts under the bay that will ultimately house electric wires.

In an effort to enhance service in Worcester County, Delmarva Power has been rebuilding a nine-mile, 69,000-volt transmission line between a substation in Berlin and a substation at 2nd Street in Ocean City. The project features a modernization of infrastructure and will increase electric system capacity in order to improve reliability and plan for potential load growth in the north end of Worcester in the future.

The majority of the transmission line is overhead between Berlin and West Ocean City and reconstruction of the aerial portion began in October 2014 and was completed last May. The overhead line between Berlin and West Ocean City was built over 50 years ago.

    I hope they don't tear up the fiber optic network that bypassed the rest of us so the Government workers can have FIOS instead of Comcast ... DPL could care less about the poor state of the infrastructure around Salisbury...the same lines go down on cue to the neighborhoods that refused their Smart meters
