PORTLAND, Maine (AP) An excavation company has begun plowing access roads and staging equipment to begin construction of an electricity transmission corridor aimed at bringing Canadian hydropower to the New England grid.

A utility official says in an affidavit that clearing is set to begin as soon as this Monday.
