What we are doing

We have previously notified you of our works to remove all the utilities from Hampstead Road and redirect them across Granby Terrace bridge and over the retaining wall within our worksite. These works are required before we extend Hampstead Road bridge. After we extend Hampstead Road bridge, we will permanently reinstall the utilities back on to Hampstead Road.

The current phase of the utility diversion works involve various utility service providers working within our site, as well as on Hampstead Road, Lidlington Place and Stanhope Street to complete the final connections and energise their networks.

Depending on where the work is carried out, the utility service providers will either use our existing traffic management on Hampstead Road or install their own. Most work outside our site on Hampstead Road, Lidlington Place and Stanhope Street will also be carried out overnight and on some weekends. Utility service providers typically work during these times to minimise traffic disruption as well as public interface on local roads. There will be some utility service providers that will work during core hours, 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday.

We do not expect these works to be noisy, the utility service providers will use best practicable methods and the work will be monitored closely to ensure they remain within the noise limits agreed with the local council.

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.
