WDIO.com · last updated

On Saturday, Enbridge announced that all work on their Line 5 reroute project will be put on pause for a 48-hour period beginning Monday, August 31st.

This comes after Enbridge met with the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on Friday to discuss the ongoing response to the natural gas liquids release in Saxton.

The pause will be to conduct a project-wide safety stand-down for construction workers. Enbridge said this “will reinforce our existing safety practices and identify opportunities to further enhance our strong safety culture.”

Prior to Monday’s stand-down, the construction sites will be secured for a scheduled rest day on Sunday.
