electricity pylon
Steel lattice carrier
An electricity pylon is a tall metal tower supporting high-voltage power lines, typically made of steel lattice framework.
These structures carry electrical cables across long distances from power stations to substations and population centers.
In American English, the term transmission tower is more common: The highway ran beneath a row of electricity pylons.
