A helicopter is helping Basin Electric Power Cooperative string a new electrical transmission line along U.S. Highway 2 between Williston and Tioga.
Spokesman Floyd Robb says Basin contracted with a California-based company for the chopper to help with the 61-mile line.
The line begins at a Western Area Power Administration substation near Williston and will end at a Mon-Dak Utilities substation outside Tioga. Robb says the goal is to string about six miles per week. The $26.5 million project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
