Network manager Tennet will continue to stabilize a high -voltage pylon at Franeker on Tuesday, which threatens to fall for damage. Because stabilization has been delayed, the evacuated area cannot yet be released.
The work takes more time than previously thought. The tap that must stabilize the mast must be transported over a dike that is “not suitable” for heavy transport according to TenneT. That is why it must be supplied in two parts.
The network operator expects the parts of the crane to be at the destination by the end of the morning. After that, the tap must still be built before the work can start.
Tennet cannot yet say when the evacuated area is released again. It was previously expected that this would happen around noon. Roads on the Kie West business park and the N384 between Franeker and Kiesterzijl remain closed. In addition, access roads, cycle paths and part of the Harinxmakanaal are also not accessible.
Train traffic between Leeuwarden and Harlingen is also stationary. Parts of the mast could fall on the track, said ProRail. According to the Dutch Railways, there are no trains at least until 10.15 pm.
Hours of power outage remedied
On Monday, a ship with a crane against high -voltage cables on it, where the mast was also damaged. The collision caused an hour -long power outage in Leeuwarden and the surrounding area, which was only resolved at midnight.
Due to the collision, between 20,000 and 30,000 households were without electricity on Monday. Also traffic lights did not work and bridges were unmanageable. Supermarkets and the town hall had to keep the doors closed.
