BPA Hills Creek Pole Replacement Project

Willamette National Forest Lane, Oregon Middle Fork - Inactive Ranger District

Two poles installed on the BPA powerline between Oakridge and Hills Creek Dam in 1962 have major decay and need to be replaced. In addition, BPA needs to re-open the spur roads that access the line in order to improve response time for line outages.
