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.

We previously informed you about the utility surveys taking place in September 2022, however due to unforeseen underground obstructions we were unable to complete the work. This means we will need to remobilise to carry out the utility survey. To safely complete the work, we will require lane closures with two-way traffic lights and 2 night-time road closures on Wood End Lane.

NOVEMBER UPDATE:

We previously informed you about the utility surveys taking place on Monday 24, Tuesday 25, Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 October 2022, this work was successfully completed, and we are now reviewing the results of the survey.

Whilst the review is underway, we will postpone our planned night-time closures on Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 November 2022 until early 2023.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We will keep you updated on any future road closures once we have more information.
