Keystone southern leg over 90% complete

TransCanada said Tuesday the southern leg of its 700,000 barrel per day pipeline is now over 90 percent complete. The company expects the line to be in service by the end of 2013.

Spokesman Shawn Howard said testing and commissioning activities were underway on the line which runs from Cushing, Oklahoma, to Nederland, Texas, and is the southern leg of the project.

Howard said in an email “Our testing and commissioning work will take place over the next few months and we continue to focus on bringing the line into service in late-2013.”
