What we are doing
Additional surveys on Chase Road from 1 November
In early September 2021, we completed a series of ground investigations along Chase Road. From 1 to 5 November 2021, we will be carrying out further ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys on Chase Road. The surveys will be carried out in phases over five nights from 1 to 5 November 2021 from 9pm to 5am the following morning.
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.
To reduce the impact of these works on the road network and local businesses, we will be carrying out these works during overnight shifts when traffic and pedestrian flow is reduced.
Traffic management will be in place overnight during these works, including the suspension of some parking bays along Chase Road. This will ensure the safety of our staff and pedestrians and allow vehicles to travel on Chase Road while we carry out the surveys.
We will also need to suspend some pedestrian crossings and partial footways overnight. Alternative pedestrian crossings and footways will be clearly signed. We will need to carry out further ground investigations in this area – details are still to be confirmed, we will provide an update shortly.
