ELECTRICAL CONDUIT WORK ON LIONSRIDGE LOOP
Beginning Monday (9/29) Longs Excavation will begin work to install new electrical conduits at
1495 Lionsridge Loop. The purpose of the work is to relocate overhead power lines to the
conduits below grade. The work will progress approximately 2,500 feet to the east on the north
side of the road. Initially, the work zone will be set up to maintain one lane of flagged, two-way
traffic from 1495 to 1400 Lionsridge Loop. This portion of the work is anticipated to take
approximately two-and-a-half weeks to complete. At that point, the contractor will close the road
to accelerate progress on the remaining work. Emergency vehicle and pedestrian access will be
maintained throughout the closure and the road will reopen each night. Contact Chris Delles
with the Town of Vail at 477-3418.
