What we are doing
We have previously written to you regarding the 150-metre-long Curzon No.2 Viaduct, currently under construction in your area.
This structure, sometimes informally referred to in the media as the “Bellingham Bridge,” will form part of the approach to Birmingham’s new Curzon Street Station.
It was originally planned that the viaduct would be moved into position over the railway line in July. However, due to the complexity of the welding work and a limited availability of skilled workers in the UK, progress has been slower than anticipated. As a result, HS2 has made the decision to reschedule the viaduct launch.
HS2 is now working closely with Network Rail to agree on a revised timetable for completing this key part of the project. We will share further updates with you as soon as new dates are confirmed.
