About the Project

Communities and Neighbors

Section 80 is visible from Route 17.

CMP is working with communities and reaching out to neighbors along the line to ensure that our construction activity is performed safely and with minimal disruption to their daily lives, neighborhoods, the environment, and wildlife.

Access to our Right of Way (ROW):

Due to some wetlands and our need to avoid them, plus other restraints, CMP land agents from our Energy Land Management department are talking to several adjacent landowners to get permission to use their driveways or roads so we may access our ROW. Other than those points, our crews will be entering our right-of-way from main roads or previously established access points. We only will be working in our right-of-way.

Outages:

No outages are planned. By building the new line offset from the existing energized line, we do not need to take a prolonged outage of the existing line.

Public Roads:

Road traffic may be down to one lane at times. Safety is our priority. Please be mindful of flaggers as they work to provide you and our crews with safe clearances.

Work Hours and Noise:

Work activity periods will comply with town ordinances. Typical construction noise will occur. Abutters may hear heavy equipment (bucket trucks, cranes, and excavators) during construction activities.
