- A crew working for Reed & Reed Wind Power Services of Woolwich began installing power lines across Route 2 on Thursday on Morrison Hill in Carthage for Patriot Renewables’ 12-turbine Saddleback Ridge Wind Project. The wires will be placed on wood poles in a clear-cut strip through woods for seven miles to a proposed substation in Canton near Central Maine Power’s 115 kV regional transmission line. Several construction barrels and orange traffic cones were used create a traffic corridor in the west-bound lane for east- and west-bound traffic. Two flaggers controlled the traffic pattern. Crews using two large cranes have constructed three towering turbine towers on the ridge but have yet to install the huge blades.

Two flaggers allowed traffic to only proceed in one direction at a time through the corridor.
