What we are doing
We are making good progress in the area from Greatworth to Wormleighton. Throughout the winter, you can expect to see the following works in the local area:
• Piling for the Banbury Road and Claydon Road Overbridges, as well as piling for the Highfurlong and Lower Thorpe Viaducts;
• Installation of a temporary bridge across the Oxford Canal near Wormleighton;
• Traffic management in the Wormleighton and Boddington areas, as we connect the Banbury Road Overbridge to the existing road;
• Completion of internal site access and haul roads to move people, material and earthworks along the line of the railway;
• Construction of a temporary road near Greatworth;
• Utility diversion works in conjunction with utility companies such as Anglian Water, BT, British Gas and Western Power;
• Continued excavation, movement and storage of earthworks along the route;
• Periods of traffic management for topographical surveys;
• Extended working hours may be in place in some areas as we enter the main construction phase;
• Abnormal load deliveries, which may require some traffic management depending on the size and weight of the delivery vehicles; and
• Localised vegetation and site clearance which may require traffic management.
