While I know the right solution (replace with direct burial, or conduit) I
do have to drill/fish/pull etc. under a 14 foot wide asphalt driveway. *If
this were direct burial, or there any approved splice methods that can be

Any ideas appreciated.

The old garden hose fastened to the conduit trick has been used by
countless people to bore under driveways, sidewalks, whatever. In your
case, with 1 1/2 pieces of conduit you're nicely through to the other
side, and left in place to pull or push your underground cable through
it. Pretty messy, but works like a charm. No splices, no future
failures. Your power company will have recommendations as to practical
burial depth of new wire.
