News Mouscron - Zwevegem

Demolition of the 70-kV overhead line between Moeskroen and Zwevegem has entered the final phase. This week, pylons near the Dottenijsestraat (Kortrijk) and the Kapel Milanendreef, Leeuwke and Avelgemstraat (Zwevegem) will be demolished. When work ends this week, all 58 pylons will have been demolished.

System operator Elia is currently dismantling the high-voltage line (70 kV) between Mouscron and Zwevegem. Because of this, the E403 between the Mouscron exit and the Aalbeke slip-road complex will be closed between 21.30 p.m. and 4 a.m. on the night of 4-5 July 2024.

High-voltage grid operator Elia has started dismantling the 70,000-volt line between Mouscron and Zwevegem. The line was built in 1936 and provided the region with electricity all this time, but it has become obsolete and is being dismantled. Due to the way the power grid was built, it does not need to be replaced. The works will start in Mouscron, proceed in phases through Kortrijk and Zwevegem, and will last one year.
