The PL1 pylons from Bridgwater Substation pass under the L2 pylons.

The deviation tower on one side of the crossing, isn't this a PL16? The earth wire ends on this pylon.

Then it starts again on the deviation tower on the other side of the crossing.

There will be some changes to this area once the new pylons at Hinkley Point are put in.

The PL1 pylons will be removed, the ZG route from Hinkley Point will be redirected to Avonmouth then a junction will be added to the VQ route and connecting to the ZG route to Melksham.

More information can be found here.
