Eversource to conduct helicopter flyovers in Newtown & Monroe

Update from Eversource, March 29: The schedule for the aerial transmission line inspections by Eversource has been pushed out to include the first week of April due to poor weather conditions.  Eversource anticipates completing the helicopter flyovers by April 7, as long as there are no more major weather delays. 

Eversource will be working on transmission lines in Monroe and Newtown over the course of the next three weeks.  This is only maintenance work on the lines and does not include tree trimming.  The work will take place in the area of the Stevenson Dam, including Jordan Hill Road and Bradley Lane.  Crews will be utilizing ATV’s and/or pickup trucks to access the transmission line structures through the right of way.

Eversource will be conducting aerial patrols of vegetation on or near transmission lines throughout the state.  Both a blue and gray and a blue and white helicopter will be used.  The aerial patrols will be occurring between 7:00am and 5:00pm, weather permitting.
