LaSalle County -- Ameren has the Illinois Commerce Commission’s approval to run high voltage power lines from Wedron to Ottawa along Ill. 71. Several months ago, it got permission to put lines mostly along Interstate 80 from Wedron to LaSalle. So, the company has a head start on buying the rights of way it needs for the Wedron to LaSalle route.
Spokesman Leigh Morris says construction should start later this year.
But construction on the Wedron to Ottawa route isn’t likely to start until next year. Both are expected to be done in 2012.
