What we are doing
Ground investigations in your area
We wrote to you recently about various drainage surveys in your area. During late January, we will also be carrying out a series of non-intrusive ground penetration radar (GPR) surveys along Western Avenue and Masons Green Lane Foot Bridge (the survey locations are shown on the following page). The surveys will help us understand the location of utility services and decide how to protect them while we build HS2. We will use scanning equipment to create a map of the utility services below ground and they will be marked using biodegradable spray paint
Your utility services will not be affected during these surveys.
The surveys will be carried out on the following dates and times:
• Western Avenue – 24 to 28 January 2022, between 9pm to 6am the following day
• Mason’s Green Lane Foot Bridge – 31 January 2022 to 4 February 2022 (excluding weekends), between 8am to 6pm
We may need to revisit these locations again at a later date to carryout additional surveys. We will let you know about this in advance.
In order to keep the public and staff safe, traffic management will be in place during these works, including a one lane closure and partial footway closure on Western Avenue near the junction with Mansfield Road and a partial footpath closure on Masons Green Lane Foot Bridge. Pedestrians will still be able to access the bridge. Alternative pedestrian crossings and walkways will be made available
Dates mentioned in this notification may change due to unforeseen circumstances – we will provide updates at Hs2.org.uk
