The project involves:
• Upgrading approximately 8 miles of
138-kilovolt transmission line
• Improving the Trier Substation near the
intersection of Trier Road and Walden Run
Company representatives plan to rebuild the
power line in the existing right-of-way, which
may require acquiring new or updating
existing property easements. Easements are
defined land rights that property owners
grant the utility to allow for the safe
construction, operation and maintenance of
the power line.
The project strengthens the electric transmis-
sion system by replacing deteriorating towers
from the 1920s with modern steel poles. The
upgrade ensures the power line complies with
the company’s structural standards, improves
the line’s operational performance and reduces
the need for frequent equipment repairs.
The project area includes:
• City of Fort Wayne
• Adams and St. Joseph townships in Allen
County
