EnergyConnect crews will be using drones to string transmission lines across the Murray River.
This activity is scheduled to commence Friday, 2 August for approximately six weeks, depending on weather and water levels.
The construction location is approximately 1km downstream of the Red Cliffs boat ramp and works will take place between 7am and 6pm Monday to Sunday.
During the line-stringing works, water vessel movements will be intermittently halted for periods of up to 20 minutes, to allow safe access for the project teams.
Waterway traffic controllers will set up traffic control points approximately 100m from either side of the works locations to direct vessels through the worksite when it is deemed safe to do so.
There will be no impact to waterway traffic before 7am and after 6pm. Vessels are encouraged to navigate the area with care.
Maritime notices will be displayed at the following boat ramps:
- Karadoc boat ramp - Edey Road, Red Cliffs
- Red Cliffs boat ramp - Woomera Avenue, Red Cliffs
- Bottle bend boat ramp - Sturt Hwy, Monak
- Bruces bend (Nichols Point) boat ramp - Billabong Road, Nichols Point
- Bruces bend marina - 133 Billabong Road, Nichols Point
