Construction activity continued Monday, March 24, 2025, as Doty Bros. Construction Company advanced work on the Pier Electrical Utility Relocation Project adjacent to the Santa Monica Pier Bridge. With the aid of a crane, crews installed electrical PME boxes on the north side of the pier—an essential step in relocating critical power infrastructure ahead of the upcoming bridge replacement.

The PME (Pad-Mounted Equipment) boxes are secure, weatherproof enclosures designed to house medium-voltage electrical components such as power lines, transformers, switchgear, and protective devices. These ground-level systems are part of the underground electrical distribution network that will help ensure uninterrupted service to pier businesses during the bridge's demolition and reconstruction phase.

Jason Hoang, P.E., Santa Monica City Senior Civil Engineer, was on-site to oversee the installation process.

This relocation is a preparatory phase for the Santa Monica Pier Bridge Replacement Project, scheduled to begin in late 2025. The existing bridge, built in 1939, is the only vehicular access point to the pier and serves as a key pedestrian connection from Palisades Park. The new bridge will be seismically resilient and pedestrian-friendly, with completion targeted before the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.

The city contracted Doty Bros. Equipment Company to manage the utility relocation. Construction began on March 3, 2025, and is expected to wrap by September 2025. Early stages of work included setting up staging areas, installing fencing, and potholing existing utility structures within Beach Parking Lot 1N, the future home of the relocated power equipment.

For more information or questions about the project, the public is encouraged to contact Jason Hoang at 310-351-7913 or [email protected].
