What we are doing
What the works involve
National Grid needs to raise the height of four pylons and a short section of existing overhead line that the new railway will pass under. This includes two pylons between Handsacre and Hanch and two between Bromley Hayes and Kings Bromley. They will also replace overhead lines along the route.
We will need to temporarily close some Public Rights of Way (PRoW)while we’re in the area in the interest of safety for users. The works will also involve highway traffic management and road closures for short durations.
UPDATE: March 2022:
We’ve completed our overhead electricity line diversion scheme in Staffordshire for HS2 Ltd in preparation for the build and operation of the new railway. The completion of this project marks the conclusion of National Grid’s Phase 1 and Phase 2a electricity transmission diversion work for HS2 Ltd in this area.
