Starting in 2007, LADWP has a long-term project to upgrade the overhead power lines and convert them to underground. This difficult conversion has been slowed by budget constraints, the impact on traffic, the pursuit of other modernization projects, and the lingering effects of a workforce reduction over the last decade. Budget issues are particularly acute in the department's transmission system, where underground transmission costs about 10 to 14 times the cost of overhead transmission, per unit length, and the technical and environmental challenges which confront such installations.<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Additionally, undergrounding of the three 500 kV transmission lines (five lines, if the <a href="/wiki/Path_66" title="Path 66">Pacific AC Intertie</a>'s two 500 kV lines terminating in Los Angeles are included) is presently technically infeasible. Upgrading the overhead lines is expected to take 10 to 15 years. The upgrading of LADWP's overhead power lines consists of eliminating the V-shape brackets on the power poles that are holding up the <a href="/wiki/Crossarm_(utility_pole)" class="mw-redirect" title="Crossarm (utility pole)">crossarm</a> and replacing them with cross-brackets that are put on the crossarm. Some of the wooden power poles are being replaced with metal poles.
