Powerline works, Barnawartha, 19 – 22 November 2024
To enable the safe running of double-stacked freight trains additional height clearance between the rail and powerlines is required in some locations along the North East rail line.
Work being done
Inland Rail contractor McConnell Dowell will replace or extend some power lines and cables along Thompsons Lane & White St, Barnawartha to create the required clearance.
What can I expect?
- Construction noise during the day
- Delivery of materials and equipment
- Traffic management and reduced speeds will be in place during some works, which may cause traffic delays
- Homes with overhead power cable connections may require testing at the point of supply to ensure no reconnection issues after power outage.

How we're managing impacts
