The part of the program located in Durham involves work in the transmisison line corridor that runs roughly north and south for approximately 4.5 miles from the town border with Pownal (near the junction with New Gloucester) to Auburn (south of the Androscoggin River). In this corridor, the project will install a new 345 kV transmission line adjacent to the existing 115 kV lines on the north-west side of the corridor. The new line, Section 3026, will be mounted on double-pole wooden structures that are typically 75 feet high.
