The Northern Bridge expansion project will transport up to 150 million cubic feet per day (Mmcf/d) of Rockies natural gas from the growing Clarington, Ohio, supply point to the Oakford-Delmont region in Pennsylvania, the company said.

Northern Bridge will build upon Spectra Energy’s strategy of cost-effectively developing its transportation infrastructure to direct new supplies of natural gas to the Northeast through incremental expansions that match the market demand.

Spectra Energy is also continuing to work with customers that expressed interest in its Time-III binding open season for transportation services downstream of Northern Bridge.

Time-III will reportedly provide key Northeast markets with access to new Rockies supply through several receipt points including Clarington and Oakford as well as the proposed Steckman Ridge storage project in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.
