Enbridge is getting ready for it’s biggest project ever and spending $7-billion to replace a pipeline from Manitoba to Wisconsin.
The energy company and its U.S. affiliate will replace Line 3; Enbridge calls it a key piece of infrastructure that moves Alberta’s crude east.
The company’s CEO says it’ll be finished in the second half of 2017 and it’ll be a “buffer” to make sure the system stays reliable.
The 46 year-old line crosses the Canada-U.S. border at Gretna, Manitoba to Superior, Wisconsin, but it won’t need presidential approval which reduces the possibility of delays.
