Summary
Nebraska Public Power District informed the board construction on the R-Project 345 kV transmission line has begun south of Stapleton; soil-disturbing activities north of Stapleton and east of Thedford are paused while right-of-way negotiations and access surveys continue.
Paul Brune of Nebraska Public Power District and construction managers from WSP and Forbes Bros updated the Logan County Board on the R-Project 345 kV transmission line on July 15.
Brune said construction has begun south of Stapleton, and that soil-disturbing activities north of Stapleton and east of Thedford have been paused. NPPD will continue right-of-way negotiations, access surveys, mowing and staking for access routes and structures in the paused areas, the meeting record states.
