Laying of underground high-voltage cables begins in Greesstraat and Gerheze
Starting on Monday, 15 November 2021, Elia will lay 70-kV underground high-voltage cables in Greesstraat and Gerheze in Olen. Through traffic will be diverted during the work, which is expected to take about two months.
Underground high-voltage cables to be laid starting on 15 November
Elia will start laying high-voltage cables between Herentals and the new Heze substation. This connection is necessary in order to upgrade the electricity grid in your area. The work will start with the installation of high-voltage cables in Greesstraat and Gerheze in Olen. In this section, Elia will dig a trench in which it will lay the high-voltage cables. It will then refill the trench and restore the road surface. This will take up the entire width of the roadway. Local traffic will remain possible and homes will remain accessible at all times. Through traffic will be diverted.
Minimising disruption
Works always entail some disruption, which Elia and its contractor are making every effort to minimise.
- All homes, businesses and farmland will remain accessible at all times. Owners will be informed of any exceptions to these arrangements.
- Work will only be carried out during the day, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the latest.
- Site vehicle traffic in the street will be limited.
