Construction of the planned underground, interstate natural gas pipeline has been delayed due to regulatory and legal fights with environmental and local groups. Work on the project started in 2018.

The pipeline will span about 303 miles from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia.

The project is designed to transport up to two billion cubic feet per day of natural gas drawn from the Marcellus and Utica shale.

In May 2023, Reuters reported that Equitrans expects to secure required authorisations from the federal agencies for the pipeline by the early summer and complete the construction by the end of 2023.
