Originally it was with a span width of  the longest powerline span of North America and fixed on three - for each conductor a single one - 19 metres tall towers at the west shore and a  tall electricity pylon on the east shore. This tower was erected in spite of high mountains on the east shore for building short towers were available, as erecting span terminal towers on them would have required a longer span, for which the use of spliced conductors were required, which was undesired as the splicing point is a potential point of failure.
Initially, it was designed with a span width equal to the longest powerline span in North America, and fixed on three - one for each conductor - 19-meter tall towers at the west shore and a tall electricity pylon on the east shore. This tower was erected despite high mountains on the east shore because shorter towers were available, as erecting span terminal towers on them would have required a longer span, necessitating the use of spliced conductors, which was undesirable due to the potential failure point at the splicing location.
