Cayman: Information on CUC’s tree trimming operations

Area : Dates : Time :

Frank Sound Road, Old Man Bay, Old Robin Road and the Queen’s Highway Tuesday, January 11 to Tuesday, February 1, 2022
Between 9:00 am and 2:30 pm, Mondays to Fridays

Between Tuesday, January 11 and Tuesday, February 1, CUC’s sub-contractors will be conducting aggressive tree trimming between 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Mondays to Fridays, on sections of Frank Sound Road from the Frank Sound Substation to Castaway Coves on the Queen’s Highway including Old Man Bay and Old Robin Road.

Due to excessive growth, some of the trees and vegetation in these areas have become an imminent safety hazard to power lines and must be trimmed back immediately.

Motorists are asked to exercise extreme caution and due diligence when driving on these roads and to be on the look out for the bright orange “Utility Work Ahead” signage as there may be temporary lane blockages and traffic management in place.

CUC is responsible for providing safe and reliable electrical service to Grand Cayman and to satisfy this responsibility, it is necessary to ensure that trees and other vegetation do not obstruct or interfere with power lines or constitute an unacceptable source of danger.

Landowners are reminded that is their responsibility to maintain the trees and vegetation away from power lines on their properties. Subsequent tree trimming by CUC will incur a cost and this cost will be charged to the landowners.
