Bakersfield – What’s left of the PG&E power plant on Rosedale Highway is going out with a boom. A PG&E spokesman says Coffee Road will be closed for the implosion Saturday, Aug. 3.
The implosion is expected to happen around 5:30 a.m.
PG&E is working to notify neighbors, but the utility isn't sure how far away the boom will be heard. Officials are also working to mitigate any problems from potential dust.
The power plant closed in 1995. The utility plans to sell the land after some work is done on soil contamination.
