Eskelsen said 550 Quanta Infrastructure employees worked on the project last month.
Construction officially began on the Gateway South transmission line project in Carbon County on June 2nd, 2022. The project is designed to transport electricity generated at the Aeolus substation north of Medicine Bow to Mona, Utah. The entire line will be 416 miles in length, with 88 miles running through Carbon County.
