What we are doing
In June 2026, we started works in Zone 5 to prepare for the extension of Hampstead Road bridge. We’ll now begin installing sheet piles throughout Zone 5 to support the temporary road, which will be in place for approximately two years.
We previously informed you we needed to start sheet piling in Zone 5 from Monday 17 August. We now expect these works to finish by mid-December due to delays. We’ll work from south to north to install piles within our site in the location shown on the map below. We’ll work from Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. We may need to work some weekends to ensure works are completed on time, however we’ll provide an update on this if required. There will be periods of increased noise and vibration during these works, however we’ll regularly monitor levels to ensure we are working within our approved limits.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
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.
