Supreme Court allows construction of Mountain Valley natural gas pipeline to resume

The United States Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Mountain Valley Pipeline may resume construction.

The ruling vacates a 4th Circuit Court of Appeals decision earlier this month that halted the completion of the pipeline that called for a review of authorizations by the Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service for the pipeline to be finished.

The natural gas pipeline when completed would extend 300 miles from southern Virginia to northwest West Virginia.
