       WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court
on Thursday removed an obstacle to completing the long-delayed
Mountain Valley Pipeline, dealing a blow to environmental groups
opposed to the West Virginia-to-Virginia pipeline led by energy
company Equitrans Midstream  ETRN.N .
    The justices granted Mountain Valley Pipeline LLC's request
to lift stays imposed by a lower court that had halted
construction of a final short section of the 303-mile (488-km)
natural gas pipeline. That section is a 3.5-mile (5.6-km)
corridor through the federally owned Jefferson National Forest.
