During construction, you may see SCE crews and contractors working in areas that affect public streets, sidewalks, trails and other public spaces. Safety is our top priority, and we take a number of precautions to help protect both the community and our crews while work is underway.

When construction temporarily affects areas used by pedestrians, cyclists or drivers, SCE works closely with local agencies to make sure all safety requirements are met. We use a variety of measures to keep the public informed and safe, including:

• Temporary fencing around active work areas
• Signs that alert the public to construction activity
• Traffic control personnel to help guide pedestrians and motorists
• Daily safety briefings for construction crews
• Other site-specific safety measures as needed

CLP will be performing work in your neighborhood. All contractors working on behalf of SCE are licensed, bonded and required to follow applicable safety regulations, SCE standards and local requirements. Workers associated with the project will carry identification badges at all times.

To complete this work as safely and efficiently as possible, temporary traffic impacts may be necessary, including road closures, overnight work, helicopter operations or planned power outages. We will provide advance notice whenever possible, and we appreciate your patience as we make these important safety and reliability improvements.

The project is expected to run from September 2026 through December 2027.

Here are some general tips you can follow to help you stay safe as either a pedestrian or a driver sharing the public right-of-way with construction crews.

• SCE will provide notification of construction activities. These could be additional letters, door hangers, traffic signs and/or parking signs.
• To minimize traffic and outage impacts, some work will be conducted during permitted nighttime or weekend hours.
• There may also be noise associated with construction activities during hours of operation.
• Crews may need to access the electrical equipment on your property. Unless SCE notices an immediate safety concern, we will attempt to notify you before entering your property.
• To make sure you are safe during construction, there may be traffic lanes and sidewalk closures, as well as designated no-parking areas. There may also be street closures and detours based on permit requirements.  Crew members will use appropriate traffic control signs and flags.
• Crews may need to dig, trim or remove trees or other plant material to safely access equipment.
• For crews to work safely, SCE may schedule maintenance power outages during construction. In these cases, we will notify you by phone, text, email or mail at least 72 hours before the outages.

Tips for Outages and Emergency Events
