What we are doing

Weekend working on Hampstead Road bridge

As part of our work to extend Hampstead Road bridge, we need to finish works on the northbound footpath. These works will include breaking out concrete, laying a new kerb line, installing the footpath, and resurfacing a section of the northbound lane. We will then install hoarding behind the new footpath ready for pedestrians to use when we close the southbound footpath. We will work from 8am to 6pm on Saturday 7 and 14 November.

We expect some of this work to be noisy. There will not be any noisy work after 1pm on Saturdays and we’ll monitor our levels to ensure we are within approved limits. We apologise for any disruption this may cause.

Weekend working in Camden Cutting North

We previously informed you we needed to complete protective works to Network Rail tracks ahead of the tunnel boring machines arriving in Euston. This will involve excavation and steel cutting at track-level in several areas within the Camden Cutting. For safety, we can only carry out this work when the rail tracks are not in use. We will work overnight from 9pm on Saturday to 9am on Sunday every weekend in November.

We expect there to be some noise during these works. We apologise for any disruption this may cause.

Weekend working on Euston Scissor Box

We have been installing a turntable within the Euston Scissor Box to allow vehicles to safely change direction and move materials around the site more efficiently. To complete the installation without delay, we will work on Saturday 14 November from 8am to 6pm. These works will involve the movement of small vehicles and the use of light tools. We will only use hand tools after 1pm and we do not expect these works to be noisy. If we need to use a crane, we will only operate it until 1pm.

Overnight weekend working on Granby Terrace Bridge

We previously informed you we are building our haul road across Granby Terrace bridge. We’re using a crane to lift concrete blocks on to the bridge. We were due to finish these works during the weekend and overnight between Saturday 7 and Sunday 15 November. These works have now been postponed and we will provide an update when we have confirmed dates.

For safety, we can only carry out this work when the rail tracks below are not in use.

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, we can only carry out these surveys when the tracks are not in use. Weekend and overnight shifts will need to be used to carry out these surveys.

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.
