What we are doing
We wrote to you earlier this month about our utility works on Finchley Road and Hilgrove Road until 27 September 2026.
The end of the current phase of works has changed, and works will now finish on 29 November 2026. This is because deeper excavations and addition design work are needed to complete the works.
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.
