PARK CITY, Utah — The Park City-to-Judge Transmission Line project is underway, and crews will be updating powerlines throughout the city this season in an effort to mitigate wildfires.

Rocky Mountain Power will be on hand at the Park City Library on Tuesday, April 23 from 5-7 p.m., to provide updates on the progress of the project.

The project began in October 2023 and is expected to be completed in October 2025. The 46-kilowatt transmission line is being rebuilt to 138-kilowatt, and underground distribution lines will also be updated.

According to Rocky Mountain Power, “All wood structures will be replaced with steel structures, which will be on average about ten feet taller than existing structures.”

All power lines will be built to meet or exceed the National Electric Safety Code standards.
