HS2 in Northamptonshire
The new high-speed railway in Northamptonshire will travel underground in two new eco-friendly ‘green tunnels,’ while three viaducts will be designed to blend into the landscape.
Three viaducts will be constructed at Edgcote, Lower Thorpe, and Highfurlong Brook, with a main works compound at Chipping Warden.
