Lakeway to Marble Falls Transmission Line Storm Hardening Project

LCRA Transmission Services Corporation is performing storm hardening on the 23-mile Lakeway-Marble Falls transmission line and other area transmission lines within the corridor.

The project will increase the reliability and safety of the structures and conductor by ensuring the transmission lines meet or exceed current National Electrical Safety Code and LCRA TSC design standards.

Latest Update – September 2024

Construction and cleanup are complete on the segment of transmission line between Bee Creek and Paleface substations in Travis County. Crews have started work on the section between the Paleface and Marble Falls substations. Work on that portion is expected to be complete by mid-April 2025. Following that, crews will move to the section between Lakeway and Bee Creek substations to replace a conductor and final structures near Lakeway Airpark. This work will require crews to access each structure between Lakeway and Bee Creek substations. Overall project cleanup is scheduled for late June 2025.
