Parts of Elmira Street in Cape May and Leaming Avenue in West Cape May will be closed through Oct. 15 so workers can install new poles and other infrastructure near Cape May’s electrical substation, Atlantic City Electric said Tuesday.

Atlantic City Electric said it is upgrading and modernizing its substation on Elmira Street to improve reliability for thousands of customers in Cape May, West Cape May and Cape May Point, as well as visitors.

The new facility will reduce the impacts of severe storms, leading to fewer storm-related outages, according to the utility.
