What we are doing
As we continue to progress the Chipping Warden green tunnel we will be continuing our increased working hours over the winter.
Activities will include, installing the tunnel structure and using concrete produced at our on-site batching plant, as well as backfilling the area around the tunnel with layers of earth.
The activities will take place in the tunnel cutting in the area between Aston Le Walls and Chipping Warden. For safety reasons, lighting will be in required and there may be some operational noise from vehicles and other machinery. The exact location will change as the work progresses northwards.
We have liaised with the local authority when planning this work and consent for the extended hours has been granted. Noise levels will be closely monitored to ensure they remain within the permitted limits and there will be regular reviews with the local authority.
HS2 is undergoing a comprehensive reset to ensure it can be built efficiently and for the lowest reasonable cost. This work is being carried out in stages and will be completed in 2026. We will provide you with updates on the reset and what this means for our plans to build the railway in your area.
