Dominion Energy will replace approximately 78 wood transmission poles with 74 new steel self-supporting poles along an existing 4.5 mile long, 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line.

The existing poles will be replaced near their current locations and will typically range from 10 feet to 15 feet taller than the existing poles.

Line construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2021 and be completed by year end.

The line begins at Lake Murray Transmission Substation near the Lake Murray Dam in Lexington County. It runs along the Lower Saluda River and then turns north and runs along Harbison Boulevard.

The majority of this route is away from roadways and will have minimal impacts to normal traffic patterns. Certain sections of the line, particularly along Harbison Boulevard and the Target Shopping Center, will have some impacts to normal traffic patterns. Advance notice will be given to any change in traffic patterns and will be arranged to ensure the safety of all affected parties.
