New power lines could be coming to Weston, Fairfield, Easton and Bridgeport after a no-decision discussion with Eversource at Thursday’s Board of Selectmen meeting. Abigail Bowersox, project manager for the 1714/1720 line rebuild project with Eversource, said that the project will rebuild a 9.4-mile long section of power lines between Old Town Substation in Bridgeport and the Weston Substation. The project would replace the existing lattice towers with weathering, steel monopolies and the existing conductors with upgraded wires of the same voltage, she said. One ground wire will also be replaced with a fiber optic ground wire. The construction is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2023, Bowersox said.
