Powerline works in Ashford, Kurralta Park and Keswick

18 Thursday September 2026

What we’re doing

We’re continuing powerline works in the areas of Ashford, Kurralta Park and Keswick to support the River Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Project for the Department of Infrastructure and Transport (DIT).

For more information, please visit the Department of Infrastructure and Transport's website at: River Torrens to Darlington (T2D) Project - Department for Infrastructure and Transport - South Australia.

How this affects you

We have installed 2 new Stobie poles on South Road, north of the Barwell Avenue and Everard Avenue intersection.  

We will be installing new overhead powerlines across South Road, at this location. The work will be completed by our powerline crews overnight between 9pm and 5am on Tuesday 29 September and Thursday 1 October 2026.

For the safety of our crews, road users and members of the public, traffic will be stopped for up to 5 minutes during each powerline installation. 

These works have been scheduled overnight to minimise traffic, community, and business impacts. We have consulted with DIT and received permit approval to temporarily stop a portion of South Road while we complete our work.

Traffic management

Traffic management will be in place while our crews and contractors are working with temporary speed limits, and signposted partial road closures, or detours for the safety of workers, road users and pedestrians. If you need assistance, please ask our traffic safety team.

We will work to minimise disruption as much as possible and appreciate the understanding of those affected by this work.
