If temporary trail closures are needed during removal and restringing of the aerial lines, these will be either intermittent closures or continuous closure, depending on the Contractor's preference. These closures are expected to be short in duration, typically hours at a time; and may occur late at night. There are no feasible detours. Signage (posted in advance for closures) will be provided as necessary during construction and restringing of the lines. PSE Existing Transmission Lines (shown in red, approx.)
