What we are doing
We are continuing with our work to support the construction of railway bridges on land near the Central Line (around 90 metres south from the rear of properties on Wells House Road). We are again working on a sensitive area around an existing wall on the west side of the Central Line bridge.
We will be working night shifts on Tuesday 5 May and Wednesday 6 May using an excavator over a one-metre strip alongside wider excavations in the area.
We work in night shifts, while the Central Line is closed, in case of debris falling on the tracks.
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.
