Heartland Project preferred and alternate routes selected

The Heartland Project Team has selected a preferred and an alternate transmission line route.

Preferred: East TUC Route
Approximately half of this route uses the Transportation/Utility Corridor (TUC) on the east side of Edmonton, then travels generally northeast to the Heartland region.

Alternate: West Route
This route passes to the east of Spruce Grove, to the west and north of Morinville, then east to the Heartland region.
