Fayetteville Transmission Line Upgrades
We’re relocating an existing transmission line along MO Route 13 to accommodate the Missouri Department of Transportation’s highway improvements. View a map here >>
- Existing wood single pole structures will be replaced with new steel single pole structures
- New structures will be approximately 20 feet taller on average than existing structures
- Steel poles are utilized for reliability and resiliency with the harsh weather conditions our communities can face
- Existing structures that utilize guy-wires for support will be replaced with self-supporting structures
Vegetation clearing is scheduled to begin in November 2025 and be completed in January 2026. Line construction is scheduled to begin in December 2025 and be completed in June 2026. Property restoration will begin after construction is complete and will continue through December 2026. Duration of restoration is weather dependent, but properties will be restored to, near as reasonable, pre-construction condition.
