What we are doing
At the end of June 2023, we issued a notification to advise that tunnelling would be starting soon. We can now confirm that tunnelling has commenced and that works are progressing well.
The tunnel boring machine (TBM) will bore a combined length of 7 miles, creating 3.5 miles of twin-bore tunnel between Water Orton in North Warwickshire and Washwood Heath in Birmingham. This phase is expected to be completed by late 2025.
Please see the notification for more information.
