What we are doing

BBV are working with National Highways to plan and deliver HS2 works on the A5 Hints Bypass. We will be undertaking surveys and earthworks on the westbound carriageway of the A5 Hints Bypass. The surveys will help us identify the location of buried utility services, such as gas, electric or water. These surveys are non-intrusive, we will use a machine that transmits an electromagnetic pulse into the ground. These pulses reflect off features in the ground, allowing us to collect data and to understand the depth of the buried utility services.

The works will take place from Monday 5 December to Friday 9 December 2022. To carry out our works safely, we will install temporary overnight closures of the A5 westbound carriageway, which will be in place from 9pm to 5am each night.
