The expanded project is expected to provide about 250,000 dekatherms of incremental firm natural gas transportation capacity from Marcellus supplies direct to nearby customers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.

The company has built around 13 miles of pipeline, related to Northeast Supply Link project in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with an investment of $390m.

Transco pipeline is a 10,200-mile system, which provides natural gas transportation and storage services to markets in the Northeastern and Southeastern US.

Williams Partners Atlantic-Gulf business segment senior vice president Rory Miller said the company will focus on bringing large-scale infrastructure projects into service in a timely manner to meet customer requirements.

"We are currently executing on approximately $1.5 billion in other natural gas transportation projects, including our interest in the Constitution interstate gas pipeline, to provide service to high-value demand centers in the northeastern United States and all along the eastern seaboard," Miller added.
