GAHANNA, Ohio — AEP Ohio is conducting power line survey work along McNaughten Road in east Columbus near Reynoldsburg, resulting in temporary traffic pattern changes for the area. Survey activities will begin near Astor Avenue and continue north to Sister Nancy Ganse Lane and are expected to continue through mid-May, weather permitting. Motorists along McNaughten Road should expect temporary lane closures between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. with flaggers on-site as needed to maintain safe traffic flow. These lane closures will be temporary and move as survey work progresses.
The survey work is part of the Astor-East Broad 138-kV Transmission Line Rebuild Project, which involves rebuilding approximately 3 miles of power line connecting the Astor Substation off Astor Avenue to the East Broad Street Substation off East Broad Street.
AEP Ohio understands this work may cause traffic delays and appreciates the patience of customers and motorists in the area. AEP Ohio will continue to provide updates ahead of changes in traffic control plans.
