What we are doing
Since early 2022 we have been constructing Fulfen Wood Overbridge, on land next to the West Coast main line railway in Streethay. The
bridge will allow HS2 to pass under the West Coast main line. The Fulfen Wood Overbridge will be installed during a nine day closure of a section of the railway between Rugby & Stafford in July 2023. During the closure we will:
- Remove the signals, railway tracks and excavate the embankment.
- Use specialist transport vehicles to lift and install the bridge in place
- Complete works and surveys to the bridge and re-open the railway
We have been working in partnership with Network Rail to plan the temporary closure of the West Coast main line between Stafford and Rugby. The closure will commence on 15 July 2023 and we will install the bridge and re-open the railway on 24 July 2023. Over this period, we will be working 24/7.
