Update: Overnight Central Line bridge work – October 2026

What we are doing

We are continuing with our work to support the construction of railway bridges near the Central Line, around 90 metres south from the rear of properties on Wells House Road.

For this we need to install a temporary wall to support the pouring of the concrete. The work will involve some drilling and fixing, and some machinery operating to lift in the temporary wall. We will be using a crane situated within site to lift sections of the temporary wall into position near the bridge. As we are lifting towards and next to the railway, for safety reasons we need to carry out these works overnight whilst the Central Line is not operating. We have been continually updating this notification as works have progressed.

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.
