The installation of the power cable for the South Fork Wind Farm has been concluded and Beach Lane repaved, following a winter in which drilling equipment took up most of the street.

A cable ship is currently in the process of laying the 60-mile power cable on the seafloor between Wainscott and Cox Ledge, the area southeast of Block Island where South Fork Wind's turbines will be constructed. MICHAEL WRIGHT
