Stafford County will consider burying power lines as part of its Route 1 improvement project.
The $11.2 million project will widen, and add turn lanes to Route 1 between Courthouse and Bells Hill roads in Stafford. Work on the project would begin in 2018 and be finished a year later.
It will be up to Virginia’s State Corporation Commission to decide where a new electric transmission line will run in Haymarket.
The project, which has been met with an outcry from the community, currently has five different routes that are on the table, according to the Dominion Power website.
