Underground Transformer Work on Central Avenue

Beware the big gaping hole on upper Central Avenue in Tarrytown. Often the site for work crews, today the block just below Broadway is home to a team from Persico working on a transformer below the roadway.

The buried transformer, helping us get things we need like our air-conditioning this week, is capped with something that eventually wears down from traffic. In time, the cap needs replacing, said Jeff, among the workers there on this crazy-hot day.

They raised the transformer and will give it new housing, he said, before getting in his backhoe to pick up some refreshments from C-Town.

Exercise caution while passing.
