What we are doing
Cross passage construction
From 22 August to 29 September, we will be constructing a cross passage near Victoria Road, South Ruislip. To avoid overnight disturbance, we have agreed with the local authority to limit noisy activities to between 7am and 10pm Monday and 7am to 1pm on Saturdays.
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. This cross passage is about 16 metres below ground and 105 metres away from the closest property.
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. Please refer to the map below which covers the area of cross passage 26.
