The project includes installation of two segments, 321 and 133 miles each of a 42-inch mainline, 170-mile of a 36-inch mainline, nine new or modified pump stations and terminal modifications. The work is located in Wisconsin and Illinois. The project for the Southern Lights light hydrocarbon pipeline consists of the installation of 474 miles of 16-inch or 20-inch pipelines for transporting diluents to Alberta, needed for blending with heavy crude prior to export to the US. The Southern Lights pipeline will originate in the Chicago area and deliver through new and existing pipelines to northern Alberta.
