Weather permitting, AEP Texas crews will temporarily stop boat traffic in 15-minute increments at the Highway 361 bridge at Packery Channel while crews string new electric wire on existing infrastructure. The work will take place Tuesday, May 6 to Thursday, May 8. Texas Parks and Wildlife officials will work to control the traffic on the water.
Drivers can expect to see Texas Parks and Wildlife boats on both sides of the bridge directing boat traffic. This work supports distribution system improvements in the area and ensures safe, reliable power for area customers.
