What we are doing
Footpath and cycle lane closure on Hampstead Road, south of Robert Street – until 1 May
We are continuing with our trial hole in the western footpath on Hampstead Road, south of Robert Street. We have partially closed the footpath, and pedestrians are being diverted around the closure. After this phase, (NV1) we’ll close the northbound cycle lane to complete the second phase of the trial hole. Pedestrian access will be maintained during the second phase. We’ll hand dig, survey, and reinstate the area. We expect these works to be completed by 1 May.
Works by utility service provider in Euston Approaches
Various utility service providers are currently working within our site, as well as on Hampstead Road, Lidlington Place and Stanhope Street to complete the final connections and energise their networks. We previously notified you that UK Power Networks (UKPN) will be working in the northbound carriageway and the northbound footpath on (NV2) Hampstead Road, south of Varndell Street, from 23 March. The northbound lane and footpath on Hampstead Road will remain closed until 8 May, with pedestrians diverted across to the eastern footpath.

Southbound cycle lane and footpath closure on Hampstead Road, south of Cardington Street – 4 May onwards
In preparation for Mace Dragados’ (MDjv) Western Utility Road programme, which will run parallel to Hampstead Road (within site), we need to construct some British Telecommunications (BT) chambers in the southbound cycle lane and footpath. We will start these works on 4 May and will continue until October 2026. Cyclists and pedestrians will be diverted around the closure. We apologise for the inconvenience these works may cause.
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.
