Power Cable Repairs Continues

A freak storm with 85 mph winds tore three high power cables off the poles a few weeks ago - the cables were 4.1 miles long and had a combined weight of 52,000 pounds. They have been working since then to get the cables off the bottom of the James River and replace the cable. If you look at this photo in the large view size you will see 2 men om top of tower and third on the letter, climbing down to the second platform. That is the James River Bridge in the background, at Newport News, Virginia.
