726-6US-1333 - Utility Pole Replacement

Caltrans District 7 has approved an encroachment permit for Southern California Edison to replace utility distribution pole 1897488E along State Route 138 in the City of Lancaster, Los Angeles County. The project involves replacing an existing 45-foot Class 4 wood pole with a new 45-foot Class 1 wood pole at postmile 3.3 in the westbound direction. Work will include temporary traffic control and excavation with a maximum depth of 78 inches, an average width of 24 inches, and a maximum length of 2 feet. This utility pole replacement project requires no relocation of other public utilities and will not necessitate the acquisition of new right-of-way. The project is listed as a forecast with a posted date of October 1, 2026, and is managed by the California Department of Transportation.
