Cross passage construction in Hanger Lane area

What we are doing

From 6 to 25 January 2025, we’ll be building a cross passage near Western Avenue and Westgate House. We’ll work 24 hours, seven days a week. During this time there will be periods of noisy works. To avoid overnight disturbance, we’ll limit noisy activities to between 7am and 10pm Monday to Sunday and carry out quieter works at night.

Cross passages between the tunnels will allow HS2 passengers to get to a place of safety in an emergency, and are approximately 500 metres apart along the route. Cross passage construction involves breaking into the side of the completed tunnel. This might generate some noise and vibration which may be heard/felt as ground borne noise in nearby buildings when transmitted through the ground to the surface.

This cross passage is about 20 metres deep and 30 metres away from the closest property.
