The new line was constructed to 230kV design standards, but initially operated at 115kV. The transmission line rebuild project included a 6,100-foot crossing over the Mississippi River. The existing towers and crossing conductors were removed, new crossing structures were installed on either side of Mississippi River, and non-standard conductors and shield wires were installed.
