Pipeline Expansion Work Evident Across Caswell County
Construction is expected to be completed by April of 2027.
Known as the "T15 Reliability Project," Enbridge Gas is installing a 45-mile natural gas pipeline from Eden, across Caswell County, to connect the MVP Southgate Pipeline to Duke Energy's plant at Hyco Lake which will soon transition from coal to natural gas.
The pipeline being constructed along an existing easement, with a new, larger pipe being placed alongside an existing line.
You can see evidence of that work along the pipeline's route across the county. A quiet field on County Home Road where dairy cattle once grazed is now covered in gravel and busy with truck traffic as it serves as a staging area for Precision Pipeline, who is constructing the Enbridge Pipeline.
Many traveling across the county, will notice that trees have been cleared along the easement and large sections of pipe have been laid out, ready for workers to install and weld together. The construction is especially apparent where the route cuts across roadways and crews have cleared the easement on both sides, marking it with brightly colored flags.
According to Josh Lane, a Senior Pipeline Technician with Enbridge, construction should be completed by April of 2027, but he expects that restoration work will likely continue beyond that timeframe.
