What we are doing
To construct and operate the new railway, it is necessary to commission a new National Grid substation. To do this we need to install new high voltage cables to connect the substation to the existing electric grid. We need to install the new cable circuit from a connection position in Hurst Lane North, Castle Bromwich to the new substation location off the B4118 Birmingham Road in Water Orton.
Our works locations will include outside two schools, Park Hall Academy and Castle Bromwich Primary School, to limit the disruption to the schools the work in these locations will be during school holidays. All traffic lights will be manually operated ensuring that any queuing traffic is monitored and kept flowing as safely and efficiently as possible.
