JCP&L Englishtown-Manalapan Transmission Line Upgrade Begins

Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) has begun construction of an Englishtown-Manalapan transmission line upgrade which will be done within an existing JCP&L transmission corridor.

The three mile upgrade also includes the removal of an 115kV line and the construction of a new 230 kV line, the Manalapan Township Committee has reported. The purpose of this upgrade is to improve the lasting reliability of the electric system in the region.

Homeowners near the construction area will be notified; construction should begin this week. Construction crews will leave hangtags near the affected areas along the JCP&L right of way from the Englishtown substation to Route 33, the report stated. The Englishtown substation is located at the corner of Tracy Station Road and Route 522.

Please stay clear of the construction zones which may be dangerous for both you and the workers. If construction is taking place in your neighborhood and you have questions, please contact the project phone number at 1-866-330-8165 and a representative of the project team will contact you.
