High Voltage Line To Frederick To Be Built By PE
The Potomac Edison Company announced plans to build a new 66 000 volt high voltage transmission line from Williamsport to Frederick in 1947. The 27.8 mile line, mostly rights of way secured, will cost about 400 000 dollars including transformers and substation equipment. Construction will take about a year with local labor used, and the line can be upgraded to 132 000 volts in the future. The route runs south from the Williamsport plant along a direct cross country path to Frederick passing near St James Lappan's Crossroads Route 40 Boonsboro and crosses South Mountain before reaching the area north of the Washington Monument.
