Large Part Of Cantonment, Gonzalez Lose Power After Lines Downed On Highway 29

May 10, 2023

A large portion of Cantonment and Gonzalez were left without power early Wednesday morning after an incident on Highway 29.

Power lines were downed on Highway 29 just south of Muscogee Road near International Paper. It appeared that multiple vehicles may have struck the downed wires or a pole, but exactly what happened was not immediately clear.

Power lines were downed on both sides of Highway 29, and power was out south of Muscogee Road to at least Archer Road.

    I was awake at the time. At around 12am, the lights in my room started flickering for about 15 minutes on and off but during those 15 minutes the street light starting flickering and that the transformer looked like it was going to blow.

    Seems like we are charged enough to have all line’s put under ground but unfortunately they are making too much money off the people of Florida to make any changes ever
