ComEd replaces snapped electric pole on Atwood Road
The broken power pole was fixed by 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 29, 2021
A power pole snapped at ground level Tuesday afternoon on the east side of Atwood Road, south of Jesters Row and Joy Lane and north of Roland Olson Forest Preserve. At the time, two inches of snow was falling on Roscoe. ComEd crews were able to replace the pole the next morning, Dec. 29, 2021, between 9:45 and 11:30 a.m. A women-run firm, Heels and Hardhats Contracting Co. of Byron, provided flags and traffic control. Before repairs began, one of their flag people took a photo of the broken pole (above), propped up and hanging from the wires.
