What we are doing
On 4 October 2023, the Prime Minister announced that the Government proposes to deliver a broad range of transport initiatives in place of investing in Phase Two of HS2. This means that HS2 Ltd is not undertaking any ‘new’ work to progress plans for Phase 2a of the project and is working with Government to agree the next steps on this phase of the project.
The activity described below is needed either to finish work on an existing site, for the ongoing maintenance of a site, or for health, safety and security reasons.
Main work to move the pipeline began in January 2023. Cadent has now finished moving the pipeline and has successfully carried out routine testing on the relocated pipeline.
Cadent is now demobilising the site. This involves reinstating the working areato replace topsoil and vegetation removed to carry out the diversion, and removing the temporary works compound off Hanyards Lane.
While Cadent had expected to complete all work at this site by the end ofOctober, bad weather has delayed our activity and this means Cadent now expects to be off the site by early December 2023.
