What we are doing
Bridges over Old Oak Common Lane
HS2 held an initial engagement drop-in event in January to provide information on the proposed railway bridges over Old Oak Common Lane ahead of the Schedule 17 planning application being submitted to the Old Oak and Park Royal Corporation (OPDC) (submitted 23 February 2023).
We have listened to the feedback from residents about the location and use of the future bridges and are holding a further drop-in event with more information about the proposed scheme before the application proceeds to determination.
The drop-in event is taking place on Monday 15 May 2023 between 4pm – 8pm. Members of the team will be on hand to listen to your concerns, answer questions and provide more information. To confirm your attendance please email [email protected] or call the HS2 Helpdesk on 08081 434 434.
The proposed design for the bridges (location shown on the map below) is split into 3 bridges over Old Oak Common Lane:
- Existing Intercity Express Programme (IEP) depot bridge that is to be retained. The application includes some modifications to the IEP bridge abutment walls.
- The Great Western Mainline (GWML) bridge will replace the existing bridge and service the GWML and Elizabeth Line trains running over Old Oak Common Lane. This bridge will be built in a phased approach, commencing in Q2 2023, to allow the live train tracks to be diverted into Old Oak Common Station.
- An extension to the replacement GWML bridge and an additional steel girder bridge to safeguard the potential future provision of a two track Chiltern Line extension and a GWML crossover track which would replace the currently disused Wycombe Line within the Wycombe corridor approaching OOC Station.
For further details please see notification and invitation to engagement event below.
