What we are doing

UPDATE:  THIS WORK HAS BEEN PAUSED AND THE CONTRACTOR HAS DEMOBILISED FROM THE SITE.

The new HS2 railway will pass above one of our existing gas pipelines at Yarlet.  To ensure it continues to operate safely and reliably, we need to divert a 350m long section of the gas pipeline.  None of our work will affect gas supplies.  From early March, our contractor A.Hak will introduce some traffic management measures to construct our site access and a haul road which will take construction traffic off the local road network and will remain in situ for other HS2 contractors.  We’ve assessed the most efficient and safe way to carry out our work to reduce the impact on road users and the local community.
