Colton-Nicholville
Central New York
National Grid’s Colton-Nicholville project will rebuild an approximately 18.3-mile 115kv electric transmission line between Parishville and Lawrence.
Project Quick Facts
- Colton-Nicholville serves St. Lawrence County and travels through the towns of Hopkinton, Lawrence, Parishville, and Pierrepont.
- The project will replace existing 115kV wire and structures in the right-of-way. Additional easements may be needed for the construction and operation of the line.
- Also included are access roads upgrades, and technologies to improve response time and decrease maintenance costs.
Current Activities
The project is currently in its fieldwork and design phase. Survey work along the transmission corridor continues, and geotechnical investigations (soil borings) are planned for early 2024. Sites for potential construction yards (marshalling or laydown yards) are also being evaluated.
