On Sunday 21 September, there will be a power outage and traffic detours in parts of Seymour so we can safely complete network maintenance.
What are we doing and why?
This planned maintenance will help keep local the electricity network operating smoothly and reduces the risk of unplanned power outages in Seymour.
We will be replacing:
- more than 1km of powerline between Oak Street and Delatite Road
- one power pole
- five cross arms (the horizontal piece on a power pole that holds the lines up).
We know that there is never a good time to be without power, or to experience traffic disruptions, so we’re completing this work all together on one day to minimise the impact of this planned outage on the community.
Traffic changes
There will be traffic changes between 7am and 5pm so we can safely complete this work:
- Oak Street will be closed between Anzac Avenue and Wimble Street.
- Traffic will be diverted from Oak Street, down Wimble Street and Delatite Road.
- The left lane of Anzac Avenue, heading southeast towards Yea, will be closed.
- There will be no entry or exit onto Anzac Avenue from Keith Street, Bryce Street, Howe Street or Sinclair Crescent.
- Access to shops on Anzac Avenue will be via Pollard Street.
If you live on Oak Street or Anzac Avenue where the road and lane closures are, we’ll have traffic management on site to help you enter and exit the area. Our crew may need to pause work to let you through. To avoid these delays, park your car on surrounding streets if you can.
