Update: Notice of Road Closure, Shipton Lee Road, Quainton

What we are doing

We are constructing the Shipton Lee Road realignment over the new Edgcott overbridge.

The road will be closed to construct the new road realignment over the new Edgcott overbridge, demolish the existing bridge and complete finishing works. The road will re-open on the new alignment.

The new end date for these works reflects a technical change which means additional works must be undertaken to the structure. To carry out these works safely and effectively we will need to put in place a road closure with signed diversions.

Location

Shipton Lee Road, Quainton, Buckinghamshire

Duration

What to expect

• A section of Shipton Lee Road will be closed with varied activities with both quiet and busier periods.
• Access to the Berks Bucks and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) reserve of Finemere Wood will be maintained throughout the closure from the east, Quainton.
• Residents impacted by the closure will be contacted directly to arrange access requirements.
• Our teams will be working in open trenches on and around carriageway.

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.
