The Gateway South Transmission Line Project commenced construction in Moffat and Rio Blanco Counties June 1st, 2022. The 500 kV transmission line will extend approximately 400 miles from a substation in southeastern Wyoming to the Clover Substation near Mona, UT.
The power line will be operated by Rocky Mountain Power, a subsidiary of PacifiCorp. The Moffat and Rio Blanco portion consists of 85 miles of new access routes being developed within 91.5 miles of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Colorado State, or land that is privately-owned. One series compensation station for the power line will be constructed in Moffat County west of County Road 163 and south of County Road 4. Power line ROW clearing, access road, foundation construction, tower erection and wire stringing will occur through 2024. The public can expect to see construction activities along Hwy 40 from the Utah boarder to Elk Springs, then northeast crossing Highway 318, paralleling Moffat County Road 21 and 7-mile Ridge, north to the Colorado/Wyoming boarder. Public access on BLM and those identified Colorado State lands will remain as it has been as construction activities occur.
