What we are doing
Cross passage construction
From 27 June to 20 July 2024, we will be constructing a cross passage near Western Avenue. Within this time there will be two periods of noisy works.
Cross passages between the tunnels allow HS2 passengers to get to a place of safety in an emergency and are approximately 500 metres apart along the route. This cross passage is approximately 13 metres deep and 20 metres away from the closest property.
Cross passage construction involves breaking into the side of the completed tunnel. This might generate some noise and vibration which may be heard/felt as ground borne noise in nearby buildings when transmitted through the ground to the surface.
Please refer to the map below which covers the area of Cross passage 27.
