LEWISTON Construction could begin soon on new transmission lines traveling in and out of the recently-approved converter station for the controversial New England Clean Energy Connect project.
In unanimous votes this week, the Planning Board approved two new sections of line in Lewiston: one that will connect to the Merrill Road converter station from Greene, and a longer section between the converter station and the Larrabee Road substation.

According to project details, the line from Greene will have poles with an average height of 128 feet, while the section connecting to the Larrabee Road substation will have poles averaging 115 feet tall.
