The Mountain Valley Pipeline has permission from federal regulators to finish the project.
Earlier this month, President Joe Biden signed a bill to raise the nation’s borrowing limit that also approved any remaining permits needed to complete the Mountain Valley Pipeline.
The 300-mile natural gas pipeline has been in legal limbo, facing court challenges from environmental groups and landowners.
On Wednesday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorized construction to resume on a segment through the Jefferson National Forest on the West Virginia-Virginia border.
It also cleared other remaining segments where the pipeline crosses waterways to proceed.
The project is a top priority for both of West Virginia’s U.S. senators, who’d made multiple attempts to include it in legislation.
