What we are doing
From mid-November 2026, we’ll begin setting up the site in preparation for the shaft excavation, which is scheduled to start in the new year.
You can expect works such as breaking out, removing and pouring of concrete as well as an increase in site deliveries. We’ll also be installing a muck bin for storing excavated waste, container units, and silos for storing materials.
Some works may produce increased noise, dust, and vibration at times. We’ll always monitor and minimise disruption where possible. These works are ongoing from the last time we notified you about the road and westbound lane closures on Adelaide Road to deliver our welfare unit.
The road closure is going ahead on 14 November to 15 November 2026, with the westbound lane closure in place from 16 November to 27 November 2026.
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.
