MILFORD — Eversource Energy will be using a helicopter to help string new high-voltage transmission lines on towers in Stratford and Milford. The work, which has already begun, will continue through Saturday, Sept. 30. Company officials said that the project is needed to support the new CPV Towantic gas-fired generating plant in Oxford. Officials said that the use of the helicopter is significantly safer and “less impactful” than conventional ground-based cable pulling methods. The flights will occur intermittently through Saturday, weather permitting, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. This will occur in and near the utility right-of-way that crosses the Housatonic River from Milford to Stratford.
