Duke Energy Underground Line Relocation

Duke Energy will be repairing an existing 138,000-volt (138-kV) transmission line buried under Madison Road in Oakley (Hamilton County). The trench or tunnel that houses the underground transmission line was installed in the 1940s. Previous efforts were unsuccessful for repairing the transmission line in place.

As a result, we will relocate a 0.3-mile (1,700 feet) section of the new transmission line in another area under Madison Road (from Gilmore to Drake) to make the repairs. These repairs are tentatively scheduled to start this May and continue for 5 months, will work being done 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM , Monday - Friday.
