FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ A judge has refused to delay construction of

a major new power line in southeastern North Dakota while an appeal

is pending.

The line is part of the CapX2020 project, which is intended to

bolster the reliability of the electric transmission network that

serves many of Minnesota's largest cities. It will run from Cass

County in eastern North Dakota to the St. Cloud and Monticello

areas in Minnesota.

The North Dakota Public Service Commission approved the route in

September. The city of Oxbow and 82 people who believe the power line might harm them

or their property are appealing the PSC order. They unsuccessfully

asked Judge Lisa Fair McEvers to put a hold on the project while

that appeal is pending.
