Changes to waterways along the Murray River
Please be advised Elecnor Australia will be stringing transmission lines across the Murray River as part of Project EnergyConnect - Australia's largest transmission line project.
The construction activity is scheduled to commence on Sunday 21 July and run through to Wednesday 21 August 2024. Works will be undertaken between 6am and 6pm each day during this period.
The works will be located across the Murray River approximately 1km downstream of the Red Cliffs boat ramp. During this time the project will intermittently halt water vessel traffic travelling along this route for periods of up to 20 minutes.
Waterway Traffic controllers will set up traffic control barriers approximately 100m from either side of the works locations and will be directing vessels through the worksite when it is deemed safe to do so.
There will be no stringing activities before 6am and after 6pm. Vessels are encouraged to traverse 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
- James King Park (Gol Gol) boat ramp - John Street, Gol Gol
The works have been approved by Transport for NSW Maritime. For more, head to current marine notices: https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/using-waterways-boating-and-transport-information/restrictions-and-closures-on-nsw-waterways/marine-notices
