The EnergyConnect project team are continuing to advance construction activities on the transmission like from Dinawan, NSW to Wagga Wagga Via Lockhart.

Work to prepare for the transmission line stringing will take place on Monday 8 September and Wednesday 10 September 2025, along the Olympic Highway approximately 3km south of Uranquinty.

From Saturday 13 September to Sunday 21 September 2025, crews will install draw wire and pull conductor wire across the highway.

Further works are scheduled to resume from Monday 29 September through to Wednesday 1 October 2025, weather permitting.

Traffic control will be in place while work is underway to ensure the safety of both motorists and construction crews. Speed limits will vary from 100km/hr to 40km/hr throughout the work zone, and drivers may experience delays of up to 15 minutes.

The public can also anticipate an increase in heavy equipment on local roads in and around the Olympic Highway associated with stringing activities. Stringing will also take place across the ARTC railway line during this time, with six to seven cranes operating in the area.

Please keep to the signposted speed limits, follow the direction of traffic controllers, and drive to the conditions.
