Work being done

To enable the safe running of double-stacked freight trains more height clearance between the rail and powerlines is required in some locations along the North East rail line in Benalla.

To achieve this, McConnell Dowell will replace or extend some power poles and cables to create the required clearance.

What can I expect

  • Construction noise during the day

  • Trucks and other vehicles entering and exiting construction sites, may cause minor traffic delays
  • Heavy machinery and equipment operating onsite
  • Delivery of materials and equipment
  • Any directly affected properties will be notified by AusNet if interruptions to power supply are expected

Machinery used

Power trucks, excavators, and light vehicles will be used within the works areas.

How we’re managing impacts

  • Water carts will be onsite to wet down areas to assist in managing dust
  • Traffic controls will be in place, where required
