NEW photos & video - Fraser River Transmission Infrastructure
New photos and video: On Tuesday, BC Hydro used a low flying helicopter to help with the installation of a guy wire (support wire) between the leaning 500-kilovolt transmission tower near the south side of the Port Mann Bridge and the next closest inland tower 1,743 feet away. The work helped to further stabilize the 500-kilovolt tower.
The foundation of the tower was damaged in mid-June and was further destabilized by the same erosion that ultimately led to the fall of a 230-kilovolt transmission tower into the Fraser River on Monday, July 4.
