Severed Cable Cuts Off Outer Banks Islands During Height of Summer, Lawsuit Filed

In North Carolina, on July 27, PCL Civil Constructors working on the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge project, which spans 2.8 miles and is the only connection between Hatteras Island and Bodie Island, severed a three-phase, 115-kilovolt underground transmission line. According to a statement from Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative (CHEC), the contractor was erecting supports for the south side of the bridge and drove a steel casing through the cable.
