Update: weekend works in Euston Approaches

What we are doing

Weekend and extended hours site maintenance
Our site, offices and equipment require regular planned and unplanned maintenance. We frequently carry out maintenance work during extended hours when the office or worksite is not in use, and we can safely disconnect utilities or lift large equipment. This work is generally quiet, and we don’t expect neighbours to notice.

Works on Granby Terrace bridge – 16 to 17 and 23 to 24 September
We need to work over the weekend from 16 to 17 September, 8am to 8pm, to set up a scaffold on site next to the railway. For safety, this work can only be done when the tracks next to our worksite are not in use.
We plan to complete the work in one weekend, but we may also need to work the following weekend from 23 to 24 September. These works will not be noisy or disruptive.

Hampstead Road hoarding maintenance – 23 to 24 September

For safety, we carry out maintenance to the hoarding on Hampstead Road at night when there is less traffic. We do this once a month, on a Saturday night between 7pm and 3am.

We will temporarily close the northbound lane but will maintain two-way traffic in the southbound lane using temporary traffic lights. You may notice brief periods of noise as we clean the road and hoarding.

Traffic cameras installed to monitor lorries – from 21 August 

Over the next few months, we will install traffic cameras along our lorry route to monitor HS2 vehicles and ensure our drivers use the approved routes to and from site. We will close small sections of the lane and footpath for about an hour while we install the cameras on existing lampposts. We will carry out the work at night, between 7pm and 6am to limit the impact on traffic and pedestrians. We expect it will take about a week to install all the cameras.

We don’t expect residents to notice these works.

Ongoing monitoring at track-level within the Euston Approaches
We carry out regular surveys and monitoring of the bridges and structures at track-level 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. We will continue to carry out these surveys until the end of the project. These surveys are quiet, and we do not expect residents to notice.
