Bridgeport-Sidney 115 Kilovolt Line Rejected Pole Replacement
CX(s) Applied: B1.3

Western Area Power Administration (Western) regularly inspects the structures that support our transmission lines and occasionally needs to replace structures that have failed these inspections. To avoid an outage caused by the failure of shell rotted poles, Western will conduct pole replacements on three structures in the Bridgeport-Sidney 115 kilovolt line. The structure numbers are 134, 24, and 14. The work will be done in mid- summer 2012 to avoid disrupting the landowner's wheat harvest.
