Has National Fuel considered using road right-of-ways?
Yes, the main problem with pursuing this option is population size. Highways and roads typically parallel homes, apartments and businesses and we generally prefer to route our pipeline as far away as we can from these structures. Also, roads generally are not straight enough for a pipeline right-of-way. In order to accommodate the same right-of-way, we would need to make more bends and fittings to the pipeline during construction.
