What we are doing
From 22 October to 26 November 2024, we will be constructing cross passage 24 near Wilsmere Drive, Northolt. There will be noisy works from 1 November to 19 November. To avoid overnight disturbance, we have agreed with the local authority to limit noisy activities to between 7am and 10pm Monday to Friday, 7am to 6pm on Saturday and 10 am to
3pm on Sunday.
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.
