Why Are We Doing This Project?

Recent inspections and engineering analysis of the G146 transmission lines revealed that many of the structures are in poor condition due to their age, woodpecker damage, insect damage, pole rot, and delamination.

This structure replacement project will replace or remove 176 of the 186 structures along the G146 transmission line (10 existing steel structures will remain). These structures are between 18-20 years old and of a laminate wood monopole design; two will be removed and the remainder will be replaced with new weathered steel monopole structures. Improvements are part of our ongoing investments to deliver reliable energy to our customers and communities.

Where Is The Work Being Done?

This work is taking place within the existing right-of-way (power line corridor). The G146 laminate wood structures were installed in 2003 and 2005. 

The G146 line is a 115kV transmission line that is 18.2 miles long and starts at our Deerfield Substation in Deerfield and passes through Deerfield, Allenstown, Pembroke, Concord, and into our Garvins Substation in Bow.

This transmission line crosses the following roads:

Pembroke

Bachelder Road, Route 28, Martin Hill Road, North Pembroke Road, Pinewood Road, Fuller Road, Flag Road, Sixth Range Road, Cross Country Road, Brush Road, 4th Range Road, Sheep Davis Road, Pembroke Street

Allenstown

Dowst Road, New Rye Road, Black Hall Road, Phillbrick Road

Deerfield

Cate Road, Nottingham Road, North Road, Church Street, Lang Road, Haynes Road, Thurston Pond Road, Mt. Delight Road

Community Outreach

We are committed to engaging municipal officials, residents, businesses, community groups and other stakeholders about upcoming project activities through municipal briefings, mailings, site meetings, virtual meetings and door-to-door outreach.

We utilize a variety of outreach methods to ensure that all customers and property owners along our transmission lines receive adequate and timely information about our projects. For this project, we will be sending periodic updates as letters mailed directly to all stakeholders, as well as a combination of the following additional methods:

• Door-to-door outreach
• Site visits (upon request)
• Virtual meetings (upon request)
• Signage placed strategically near construction areas or in residential areas
• Regular field presence to ensure the safety of our customers, nearby property owners, and our construction crews
• Read the project introduction letter
• Read the start of construction letter for Pembroke scope
• Read the phase 2 start of construction letter
• Read the communication wire (OPGW) installation letter

Commitment to Safety

We take every safety precaution while working in local communities, and all people working on the construction project carry identification. The project work will not interrupt electric service to homes or businesses.

We remain committed to prioritizing public health as well as the health of employees and contractors during COVID-19. All Eversource personnel follow applicable health and safety guidelines to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
