(VIRGINIA MERCURY) — One of the proposed routes of the controversial Valley Link Transmission line, which will stretch 765 kilovolt lines 115-miles across Virginia from Lynchburg to Culpeper, has been altered by developers, as Dominion Energy, Transource and FirstEnergy narrow down which path they’d prefer to present to the State Corporation Commission.

Dominion has been meeting with communities in the nine counties the line could traverse: Campbell, Appomattox, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Louisa, Orange, Goochland, Spotsylvania, and Culpeper. Members of these communities confirmed that the utility shared the updated route options with them in recent days.

Route 2’s changes are mainly centered in Buckingham and Louisa, and there are alterations near the Joshua and Yeat substations at the beginning and end of the line.
