A helicopter carries an array of electrical insulators away from a
130-foot tower as linemen for Wilson Construction work Tuesday on a
transmission line upgrade at the Bonneville Power Administration
substation near Goshen. Residents within a half-mile of the power lines
south of Eugene and Springfield will hear several loud explosions
Thursday and Friday as crews install new, higher capacity lines near the
substation. The explosive devices implode, binding two cables together,
said Mike Roan (left) of the BPA. Story, Page F3.
