What we are doing

HS2 Ltd is proposing to make changes to the junction of the A515 and Wood End Lane, with further widening to Wood End Lane. This is to improve traffic flows during the construction of HS2. To design the changes, Balfour Beatty will need to carry out surveys on the Cadent Gas pipe on Wood End Lane.

To complete the Cadent Gas survey, we will use a vacuum excavator to safely dig to the gas pipes. There may be some noise associated with these works which we plan to undertake at the beginning of the shift.

To minimise disruption to residents and road users, we will carry out this work overnight. To carry out the work safely, we will need to close Wood End Lane between the junction with A515 and Watery Lane.

The Cadent Gas survey will take place on Monday on 12 and 13 September 2022, 8pm to 5.30am.

During the night-time road closures, we will put signed diversion routes in place.

Please plan and allow extra time for your journeys during the closure.
