In Dixmont, the project involves upgrades in approximately 6.5 miles of CMP transmission line corridor that runs through the town from Troy southeasterly to Monroe. These upgrades include the construction of a new 345 kV transmission line and the rebuilding of the existing 115 kV transmission line.

The existing 115 kV transmission line, which is currently on the south side of the corridor and runs on H-frame structures which are typically 45 feet above ground, will be removed. It will be rebuilt on the north side of the corridor on monopole structures approximately 75 feet in height.

The new 345 kV transmission line will run on H-frame structures approximately 75 feet in height.
