Eversource’s “Stevenson to Pootatuck Rebuild Project,” which entails rebuilding existing 115 kV transmission lines between Stevenson Substation in Monroe and Pootatuck Substation in Shelton, began in late February and is expected to last through the end of the year. New infrastructure improvements include the installation of new monopoles and new wires. The Eversource crews have placed “trail closed” signs wherever the hiking trails intersect or follow the powerline corridor. Eversource has also erected construction fencing across the trail, which Gallagher says the city suggested they do because “our experience shows that some trail users disregard signs and pass through the Trails Committee’s active work zones, even under leaning trees that are in the process of being cut down with a chainsaw.
