August 2023 Update

There will be an uptick in transmission construction activity near Standing Bear Lake Station through September.

Towards the end of August and into September, OPPD’s partner contractor, Brink Constructors, will be accessing the M.U.D. campus with various trucks and tractor trailers by way of Hartman Avenue and Rambleridge Road to deliver poles and other structure materials to the site.

Additional activity will be seen along Military Road and on M.U.D.’s campus as Brink Constructors begins erecting the transmission lines that will connect the new Standing Bear Lake Station to the electric grid. While there will be increased truck traffic, and the occasional, short duration lane blockage, the bulk of the construction will happen off the roadway and should not negatively impact traffic in the area.

Also near Military Road, portions of the site’s north entrance off Military Road will be paved. Increased truck traffic and construction workers may be present for this construction during the last week of August through mid-September.

Please use precaution while activities are in progress on Military Road. As always, please do not follow trucks in to work zones and make sure you look out for any traffic signage in the area.
