They will soon, overnight, run a net across the road while it is closed. Then they can replace the power cables, while the road is open.
Better than closing the road entirely for a few weeks.
They’re setting up to do work on the power lines. They will string netting across them over the road so that if the power lines come down by accident while they’re working, they won’t come down on to the road.
Usually means they’re gonna put something up to support the power lines while they do some work. I’ve seen them hang netting across them before.
They’ll be a net between them soon (or recently removed)
I believe they are to protect the road during maintenance to the cables. I don’t fully under why the road needs protection but not anything else
Usually I’ve seen them with a net stretched between them over the road. I’ve assumed some kind of safety net in the cable comes away from the pylon. They are there when there is work being done on the (I assume isolated) pylon.
It’s to catch the overhead wires while they lower them to do works (presumably either on the wires themselves, or the pylons)
The power lines will be crossing a road, railway or some other live infrastructure, and the lines will be undergoing maintenance.
You can see some netting rolled up and secured to the scaffold. There will be another tower at the opposite side of the road/railway.
The netting is then attached to each scaffold tower to create a safety net to protect the road/railway should anything be dropped from the lines during the work.
It means that they can work without needing long road/railway closures.
Or, the netting can also be used as a hammock for giants.

You’ve been marked. Stay safe hun. Shared Leicester
It’s the main stage for Farmfest 2025.
It’s the lighting gantry for a high power rock show.
When they lower the power lines for maintenance they plug the 765kV supply directly into some amplifiers and…
Kerrannngggg!!
No way, I’ve heard about it but not seen it before. They put nets across it and do a circus performance to entertain on coming traffic
It’s so you can get your Frisbee back.
*Jimmyyyyyyy!*
