PARADISE CIRCUIT TARGETED UNDERGROUNDING PROJECT
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Southern California Edison (SCE) will begin construction activities associated with its Paradise Circuit Targeted Undergrounding Project in the City of Calabasas. This project is part of SCE’s ongoing wildfire mitigation and electric system resiliency efforts designed to improve public safety and electrical reliability in high wildfire risk areas.
PROJECT PURPOSE
The targeted undergrounding effort is intended to reduce wildfire risk and improve electric reliability during extreme weather conditions by relocating overhead electrical facilities underground. Undergrounding infrastructure helps protect the electrical system from high winds, vegetation impacts, and other hazards that may contribute to wildfires or power outages.
CONSTRUCTION LIMITS
Construction activities for this phase of the project will occur along Old Topanga Canyon Rd within the City of Calabasas. Work will cover approximately 1.28 miles (6,758 linear feet) of targeted underground electrical infrastructure installation.
ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
Construction began in late June 2026, with completion expected during the third quarter of 2027.
WORKING HOURS
Construction is anticipated Monday through Friday, 7:00am to 5:00pm.
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
• Utility potholing and trenching
• Installation of conduits, vaults, and manholes
• Cable installation
• Asphalt restoration
• Removal of existing overhead electrical infrastructure and equipment
• Vegetation trimming or removal necessary for safe access
Residents and businesses near the project area may experience temporary construction-related noise during approved working hours.
