What we are doing
Works are continuing at the North Portal in preparation to receive the
ALIGN JV’s tunnel boring machine in 2024. EKFB earthworks have
continued to progress in the area and are moving from Rocky Lane
towards the location of the Chiltern North Portal. EKFB continue to
excavate the cutting for the internal haul road as communicated within
the August 2021 update on the earthworks at the North Portal. Ahead
of EKFB earthworks activities at the North Portal Fusion will be carrying
out seasonal mitigation work for great crested newts.
Ecology translocation
As great crested newts and reptiles are active during the summer
season, we will be moving populations to the established habitat sites
that have been prepared for them and is suitable to support the
population of newts and reptiles. The translocation works will take
place this over the next few weeks.
