A high -voltage pylon that was damaged this afternoon after a ship with a crane against high -voltage cables on it must be stabilized. Network manager Tennet continues all night with preparatory work to stabilize the mast.
The area around a number of high -voltage pylons in the vicinity of the Van Harinxmakanaal near Franeker, where the collision took place, is being vacated as a precaution and part of the ring road in Franeker is dropped off.
“There is a risk that the mast falls and therefore other masts in the area,” the safety region reports on X. For safety reasons, the evacuated areas remain “until further message”. Due to the eviction, no train traffic is possible between Leeuwarden and Harlingen for the time being. It is expected that stabilizing will be completed on Tuesday morning.
Due to the collision, a power outage in Leeuwarden and the surrounding area arose earlier on Monday. Between 20,000 and 30,000 households and companies were affected. In the meantime, Liander has reconnected all customers.
