Dear Landowner:
Back in January, we contacted you about plans to upgrade a nearly 13-mile stretch of the
existing Otter Creek – Conastone 230 kV transmission line between a to-be-constructed
switchyard near the existing Peach Bottom – Three Mile Island 500 kV transmission line and the
Maryland border. We also held an informational open house at the Chanceford Township
building on January 25 to discuss the project with area residents.
While the original plan for this upgraded line called for a double circuit 500 kV / 230 kV
transmission line, PJM has since determined that, in order to meet evolving energy demands, it
would be best to rebuild the line as a double circuit 500 kV transmission line. All other major
details of the project remain the same, and the line will still run through an already-established
corridor through Chanceford, East Hopewell and Hopewell townships in York County. By
upgrading the capacity to meet future demand now, we can minimize disruptions to the
community, environment and residents for the foreseeable future. This will allow us to build for
the future and ensure that our infrastructure remains resilient, reliable and capable of meeting
the needs of our growing region for years to come.

Gipe Road Bridge Update
From County Bridge Engineer
Preliminary design has just started with survey being just completed. Once a new bridge layout has been completed, preliminary drawings will be sent to Chanceford Township and meetings will be held with property owners to discuss any temporary and permanent Rights of Way needs. Final design is expected to be completed by April of 2023 with the project going out to bid for construction in July of 2023. The plan is to have the bridge opened to traffic by winter of 2023 with any final paving and restoration being completed in the spring of 2024. For any project related questions, please contact Steve Malesker, Senior Project Manager at HRG or email [email protected]
