Beebe River to White Lake (B112) Line Rebuild Project

Why Are We Doing This Project?

Recent inspections and engineering analysis of the B112 transmission line revealed that many of the structures are in poor condition due to their age, woodpecker damage, insect damage, and pole rot.

The B112 transmission line currently has 271 structures. Of these, 13 are already weathering steel and will not be replaced, while two will be removed without replacement. The remaining 256 structures will be replaced with weathering steel structures of a similar design. In addition, the conductor (wire) is being replaced, and fiber optic cable, known as Optical Ground Wire (OPGW), is being installed the entire length of the line.

This maintenance is part of our ongoing investments to deliver reliable energy to our customers and communities.

Where Is The Work Being Done?

This work will take place within the existing right-of-way (power line corridor) of the B112 Line, a 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line built in 1956 that is 22.9 miles long.

The B112 line starts at the Beebe River Substation in Campton and ends at the White Lake Station in Tamworth.

See a map set of the project plans (pdf), subject to change due to permitting, constructability and other considerations.

Community Outreach

We're 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, while adhering to COVID-19 social distancing and other related health and safety guidelines.

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 Start of Construction Letter
  • Read the Project Fact Sheet

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.

All Eversource personnel follow applicable health and safety guidelines.
