Dominion power is proposing to build new towers up to almost 200ft tall to support an upgrade in the transmission line crossing the river. These large metal poles will forever ruin the eastern vista and the gateway to Lancaster County. The VMRC unanimously voted to grant their permit for construction. You can view the scope of the project at https://www.dom.com/corporate/what-we-do/electrici...
Please sign the petition to voice you opposition to the construction of these large new towers and protect our beautiful river entry. Don't let Dominion Power spoil Virginia's natural and historical resources. Tell Dominion power no Transmission towers. Put the lines underwater and out of sight.

There is a power line running under water across the Rappahannock from Warsaw to the small island I live on (Curley's Island) in Tappahannock. It does a great job!! Rarely an outage. Please consider doing the same by the bridge. These towers will forever ruin the view.
In addition to this being just an awful eyesore on one of the most beautiful waterways of Virginia, I believe that there would be serious navigational marine hazards Please, please, please. Rethink this and bury the lines. Find another way.
I agree that these tall towers would greatly detract from the natural beauty of the scene. They will definitely increase the trauma for pilots entering the landing pattern at Hummel Field, making it a more dangerous procedure.
According to DP this is an example of business as usual; nothing to look at here, keep moving. DP should be working on alternatives to showcase their technology and commitment to preserving the character of their/our rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.
Since this issue has just come to the attention of most citizens who will be impacted by this project, a delay of approval and community briefings about the project are in order. It is difficult to understand why well-publicized information sessions haven't already been held.
Dominion Power is a big bully -- there are other options to be addressed regarding this problem other than ruining the incomparable beauty of our bridge. Utilize some of the BIG BUCKS y'all get every second of every day!!
The proposed towers would be bigger and closer together than what is there now. They would be a significant change, navigational obstruction, and ruin a pristine view of the gateway to the Rhappahannock River. This river is a national treasure, pristine, and unspoiled. This is an opportunity to preserve and protect an invaluable resource for tourism, our economy, and our future.

My Riverfront property directly overlooks the Norris Bridge. These towers, if built, will have a disastrous economic and esthetic impact on this pristine and treasured view. Please do not ruin our River view forever. Bury the cables. Save the "Gateway to the Rappahannock".
