The Midwest Transmission Project is a partnership project being accomplished by Kansas City Power & Light and the Omaha Public Power District.  This project consists of the planning, identification of a route, and construction of 180 miles of a new 345-kV transmission line from KCP&L’s existing substations located near Sibly, MO and Maryville, MO and on to OPPD’s existing substation located near Nebraska City.

The construction phase of this project began in the Summer of 2015 and includes installing foundations, assembling structures and stringing wire.  Concrete Industries – Nebraska City and Southeast Ready Mixed has supplied nearly 8,800 cubic yards of concrete for the project which is estimated to be completed by Winter 2016.

Each state is working independently on their respective portion of the project’s construction.  Concrete Industries – Nebraska City and Southeast Ready Mixed supplied concrete for the line from Nebraska City to Craig, MO with concrete coming out of the Falls City, Auburn and
Nebraska City ready nixed plants.
