Residents of Doral are reminded that a new infrastructure project led by Florida Power & Light (FPL) is underway, aimed at boosting the reliability of the power supply in their community. Information shared by the City of Doral indicates that this project involves the installation of new transmission power line poles and line upgrades across a two-mile stretch of the city.
The scope of the work encompasses an existing easement starting east of NW 109th Avenue, proceeding east on NW 50th Street, turning north on NW 107th Avenue, and then east again on NW 62nd Street. Specialized equipment such as large cranes, bucket trucks, and lighting gear will be in use, and to curb the impact on daytime energy consumption, most construction will be carried out overnight, from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, as detailed by the city's website.
An anticipated completion date for this project is set for February 2026. FPL has pledged to maintain access to homes and properties throughout the project's duration, and detour routes will be marked in advance to facilitate the movement of residents. Moreover, efforts will be made to limit noise and disruption to the community during the late hours of work.
For those seeking further details or looking to voice concerns, FPL has provided a contact number, 1-800-693-3267, operational from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. This effort, part of the Gratigny-Quarry T30345 Transmission Line Project, aims to ensure the grid holds strong in both fair and tumultuous weather. The City of Doral expresses its thanks to the community for its patience and cooperation as these upgrades are implemented.
