Overview & Project Description

We are in the planning stages to rebuild a 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line from Lanexa, Virginia to the Northern Neck area just east of Warsaw, Virginia. We’re planning to replace the existing H frame structures with a taller, double circuit monopole structure and in some cases we’re also replacing existing lattice structures with a similar structure – constructed from a different material. This construction will occur along a 41 mile corridor and remain within the existing right of way while crossing the Mattaponi, Pamunkey and Rappahannock Rivers. We’re currently replacing the structures and cables crossing the Mattaponi River.

This project is needed to replace aging equipment. After nearly 5 decades of service, the structures and related components are at the end of their service life and need to be replaced to ensure reliable operation of the transmission line.
