Greetings!
As part of its commitment to deliver reliable energy to customers, Eversource will be constructing a new 115 kilovolt (kV) underground transmission line in your area. Eversource is starting construction of the Sudbury to Hudson Transmission Reliability Project. This Project is one of several that are designed to improve the reliability of the electric system serving your area. Please be assured that this work will not interrupt your electric service.
Project Duration
We anticipate the entire Project to take two years to complete, however, work in your area will be occurring intermittently during that time. Project construction will take place in phases and you can expect to see crews at different times throughout the course of the Project. Eversource will follow-up with notifications summarizing the work. We will also provide frequent updates on the Project website and through routine email communication.
Where We Will Be Working
Crews and equipment will remain within public streets and sidewalks along the project route in Hudson and be working within an inactive existing MBTA corridor in Hudson, Stow, Marlborough and Sudbury.
What You Can Expect
Beginning on October 24, 2022 crews from BOND Civil & Utility Construction will start performing site preparation for the installation of duct bank and vaults between 7 AM – 5 PM, Monday – Friday, in Hudson between White Pond Road and the Sudbury Town line. Occasional work may extend beyond these hours based on approval from local officials.
Upcoming Project Activities
- Setting up of a safe and secure worksite, including erosion controls.
- Removal of rails and ties in the inactive MBTA corridor.
- Vegetation removal in the inactive MBTA corridor.
- Surveying and marking out the roadway for existing underground utilities.
- Installing cables in an underground duct bank, a group of tubes designed to house electric lines, and vaults.
