Irby’s Project with JEA Featured in Jacksonville Business Journal

A recent story in the Jacksonville Business Journal highlighted Irby’s work with the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) on a landmark infrastructure project to raise the transmission lines crossing the St. Johns River at Fulton Cut. Construction will replace six transmission towers and raise wires to 375 feet. This critical upgrade will allow larger vessels to safely access the Jacksonville Port, supporting the continued growth of one of the nation’s largest international trade hubs.
