What we are doing
From 7 to 28 March 2025, we will build a cross passage 8 underground near Western Avenue and Manhattan Business Park.
We will work 24 hours, seven days a week. Works to build cross passages involve breaking into the side of the completed tunnel. This may create some noise and vibration. To avoid overnight disturbance, we’ll limit noisy activities to between 7am and 10pm 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. They are located about 500 metres apart along the tunnels’ route. This cross passage will be about 20 metres below ground level and 65 metres away from the closest property.
