Spring Street will be closed to all trafic from Lachlan Street from Tuesday, June 11 until Saturday, June 15 for the istallation of the EV chargers.
Traffic can access Spring Street from the Newell Highway during this period and parking in the centre of Spring Street will be impacted with only limited spots available.
Work will continue from Monday, June 17 to Saturday, June 29 but will be restricted to the charging station's location only. Traffic control will be in place.
The contract for this project was awarded to EVSE Australian for design and construct including electrical connections, equipment supply and software.
The chargers are an Australian made brand, Ocular, and Forbes will have one 60kW rapid DC and two 22kW fast chargers.
Drivers will be able to recharge through them using the Exploren Charging App.
The Western end of Spring Street was chosen due to the capacity of the transformer at the end of the street to enable the rapid chargers.
The location is also above the recent flood height and is readily accessible to both the highway and CBD.
The supplier's maintenance contractor is based out of Cowra in case of breakdowns.
