Buena Vista-Balcony Falls

The existing structures and components along this 10-mile line corridor have been in service for nearly 10 decades and need to be replaced. We propose replacing the existing galvanized-steel lattice structures primarily with brown, weathering-steel H-frame structures.

• Project area is 10 miles long
• Right of way is primarily 100 feet wide with 120-foot and 140-foot sections
• Primarily galvanized steel lattice structures with some galvanized steel monopole structures

• Utilize existing right of way corridor
• Install brown, weathering-steel H-frames throughout most of the corridor. Weathering steel monopole and 3-pole structures will be used in some locations.

• Maintains current right of way
• New structures located in the same general location as existing structures
• Complies with mandatory standards to ensure safety, reliability and to meet future needs
• Minimizes impact to the community and environment
• Replaces aging infrastructure
