SOUTHERN ACCESS EXTENSION PIPELINE PROJECT

Enbridge Southern Access Extension Pipeline Project is a 165-mile crude oil pipeline starting at Patoka, IL and ending near Pontiac, IL.  This $700 million dollar pipeline Project will cross eight counties in central Illinois: Marion, Fayette, Shelby, Christian, Macon, DeWitt, McLean, and Livingston.  Portions of the pipeline will require new right-of-ways, but most of the pipeline will be constructed along existing pipeline and electric transmission line right-of-ways.  The route has been determined, but the final design and pipe diameter are still to be determined.  The pipeline is scheduled to be in service in 2015.
