What we are doing
Bridges and viaduct construction
As we move into the main construction phases for the bridges and viaducts in the areas of Great Missenden, Wendover, and Stoke
Mandeville, we need to start bringing in precast steel and concrete. To reduce our impact on the local area, many aspects of these bridges and viaducts are being manufactured offsite.
We expect to begin receiving the delivery of steel beams and precast concrete for several of our structures throughout 2023 and 2024 to our Great Missenden and Wendover Green Tunnel compounds. With off-peak traffic management for the delivery of steel beams and precast concrete.
Tunnel Boring Machine dismantling
Our two Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) have now completed their work digging through part of the Chiltern Hills and have arrived at our North Portal site in Great Missenden. We are dismantling the TBMs in sections. These sections will be transported away from the site in HGVs via the temporary approved lorry route, especially for abnormal loads. There will be approximately twenty-two abnormal loads planned in total across four months until end August. Most of these loads will have very little impact on road users, however, some of the largest abnormal loads will require a police escort. Please see notification below for more information and a map of the route.
