What we are doing

HS2 will be constructing a conveyor system to move material from the Old Oak Common station site as well as the Victoria Road Crossover Box site to the Willesden Euroterminal site as part of our plan to reduce HGV traffic on the local road network. For more information about the conveyor, see: https://www.hs2.org.uk/in-your-area/local-community-webpages/hs2-in-old-oak-and-north-acton/conveyor-system/

In preparation of the conveyor installation, BBVS will carry out works on the existing Wycombe Line bridge and construct a haul road through the satellite sites to the south and west of Wells House Road. This will provide access for the construction plant and equipment required to build the conveyor.

Wycombe Line Bridge Adaptation
From 13 September 2021 for one week, we will undertake works on the Wycombe Line Bridge. This will convert the current rail bridge into a road bridge which will allow construction vehicles to travel from Old Oak Common Station to the satellite site to the South of Wells House Road in order to install the conveyor. We will begin by installing concrete barriers along the bridge. Aggregate materials will then be delivered by tipper trucks and spread upon the bridge by excavators. Once these materials have been spread, they will be compacted by rollers to create the temporary road.
