What we are doing
We previously informed you that we need to complete protective works to Network Rail tracks ahead of the tunnel boring machine arriving in Euston. This will involve excavation and steel cutting at track-level in several areas within the Camden Cutting. We also need to install hoarding and complete coring works in the retaining wall during overnight shifts. Due to the location of these works, we can only carry this out when the rail tracks below are not in use. We expect there to be some noise during these works. We’ll need to work overnight from 9pm on Saturday 10 October to 9am on Sunday 11 October and continue with this schedule throughout weekends through October.
We apologise for any disruption these works might cause.
Weekend working on Granby Terrace bridge
We previously informed you that we need to finish works to build of our haul road across Granby Terrace bridge. This will involve using a crane to lift concrete blocks onto the bridge. We previously informed you that we would to carry out these works overnight on weekends up until 27 September. These works have been extended and will be continuing between 3 to 4 October between 9pm to 9am. Due to the location of these works, we can only carry this out when the rail tracks below are not in use. We do not expect these works to be noisy.
Concrete pour in Camden Cutting South
On Saturday 10 October we’ll complete concrete pours in Camden Cutting South, We’ll work from 7am to 7pm.We do not expect these works to be noisy.
Ongoing surveys and monitoring at track-level within the Euston Approaches
We carry out regular surveys and monitoring of the bridges and structures within the railway cutting, to inform and assess the impact of our works. For safety, due to the location of these structures beside, above and below the railway tracks, we can only carry out these surveys when the tracks are not in use. This means we frequently carry out surveys during weekends and overnight shifts.
To help with our deliveries and collections, we regularly have large loads delivered to or collected from our worksite via Hampstead Road gate and the Vehicle Holding Area. For safety reasons, these loads need to be moved at night or early morning to avoid peak traffic hours. Due to the size and weight of these loads there may be occasions where our approved lorry routes are not suitable, and the hauler may need to use alternative roads. Our traffic management team will be present to assist the hauler in safely navigating the route and traffic marshals will be on site to guide lorries in and out of our worksites.
These movements will continue on various dates throughout the duration of the project.
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.
