What we are doing
Over the next few months, we will be undertaking the main earthworks in the location between the Chiltern Tunnel North Portal and Rocky Lane.
The earthworks consist of deep excavation, removal and movement of large quantities of soil between these areas in preparation to receive Align’s tunnel boring machine in 2024.
Additionally, we will be excavating the cutting for our internal haul road and the train line itself, removing and storing topsoil for the construction of our site access road.
