Appalachian Power representatives have selected a proposed route for a new transmission line in Campbell County, Pittsylvania County, and Altavista. The upgrades are part of the Altavista-Leesville Transmission Improvements Project, which involves rebuilding approximately 4.5 miles of 138-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in or near the existing right-of-way and building approximately 5 miles of 138-kV transmission line parallel to existing transmission lines.
