What we are doing

We will be re-commencing construction of the Overbridges that will allow HS2 to pass under A5 Hints Bypass and Watling Street.

On the A5 this will require our contraflow system to remain in place.

On Watling Street, we will begin to use the plant crossing to ensure the safe crossing of large vehicles.

Once we have completed our piling works, we will begin the construction of the structures at both locations.

Construction of A5 and Watling Street Overbridge’s to begin 23 April 2025 and is due for completion in Spring 2027.
