GMP Alerting Customers and Drivers About Helicopter Line Crew Work Along Interstate 89

COLCHESTER, Vt. – Green Mountain Power (GMP) is alerting customers and drivers that they may spot helicopter line crews along sub-transmission lines visible from Interstate 89 in the Richmond/Bolton area this weekend. The work is scheduled to take place Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Helicopter line crews will be installing spacers between lines to increase reliability, especially during the winter when ice can build up on lines. The improvements will help customers from Middlesex north and west into Essex. This work is scheduled to take place without outages needed.
