Electric Transmission Project

Glebe

Project Overview

The Glebe Electric Transmission Project will allow Dominion Energy to continue providing reliable electric service to the area. The project involves 3 main components:

  • Rebuilding and modernizing the Glebe Substation in Arlington County, which was built in the 1970s and is reaching its end of service life.
  • Converting an existing overhead electric transmission line to an underground line between the Glebe Substation and Potomac Yard Transition Station.
  • Decommissioning of the Potomac Yard Transition Station in the City of Alexandria and the existing overhead line from service.

Construction Updates

City of Alexandria side:

  • December 2023: The crew has finished boring the second tunnel between the launch and receiving pits and will now work on installing the bundle of conduits within both tunnels.
  • August 2023: The boring for the first tunnel between the launch and receiving pits has been completed. Crews will begin working to bore the second tunnel in September.
  • July 2023: Micro tunneling began.
  • January 2023: Launch pit constructed for micro tunneling activities.
  • December 2022: Construction began in the Potomac Yard Shopping Center to install a sound wall around the launch pit. The launch pit is needed to install the new underground line using the micro tunnel method. The sound wall is 24-feet tall and designed to reduce construction noise from the launch pit.

Arlington County side:

  • December 2023: With the completion of tunneling activities, crews will now begin regular work in the receiving pit to install the bundle of conduits within both tunnels.
  • August 2023: Excavation of the receiving pit near the Glebe Substation was completed.
  • June 3-4: Crews will install an additional non-slip coating to the Temporary Boardwalk Diversion to enhance safety for trail users. One half of the trail width will be closed during the installation to allow continued trail traffic. 
  • May 2023: Receiving pit installation begins at Glebe Substation. Truck traffic will increase on S. Eads Street
  • May 7, 2023: Temporary boardwalk diversion opens to the public.
