Powerline works, Euroa, 8 November to 17 December 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 some power poles and relocate power lines underground within Frost Street and Railway Street, Euroa to create the required clearance.
What can I expect?
- Construction noise during the day
- Traffic management and reduced speeds will be in place during some works, which may cause traffic delays
- Small sections of road closures around the work zone, with detours in place during some works
- Heavy machinery and equipment operating onsite
- Delivery of materials and equipment
- Homes with overhead power cable connections may require testing at the point of supply to ensure no reconnection issues after power outages.
Any directly affected properties will be notified by AusNet if interruptions to power supply are expected
Machinery used
Power trucks, elevated work platform, crane, excavator, drill rig, heavy and light vehicles will be used within the works areas.
How we're managing impacts
Traffic management will be in place to ensure safe access for all road users and pedestrians, where required.
