What we are doing

Safe stop down to SCS works from 10 October 

  

Safety is our number one priority at HS2. Following an incident that occurred at the Green Park Way site in Ealing, works are being safely halted across the London Tunnels section of the route, including sites in Camden. While no workers were physically harmed, our contractor, Skanska Costain STRABAG joint venture, is undertaking a comprehensive review of safety procedures and leadership on their sites before a safe restart can take place. 

  

Works will be brought to a safe stop and will remain on hold until we’re satisfied that all appropriate measures are in place to protect the workforce.We anticipate the review may take a number of weeks depending on the area and the type of work involved. 

  

We will provide details on when the safe stop will be in place over the course of the next week. 

We need to install UK Power Network (UKPN) ducts in the road and footpath outside our site access gate at the junction of Stanhope Street and Park Village East, opposite Cubitt Court.
We previously informed you that these works will finish in late September. However, due to programme delays, works will now finish on Friday 10 October.
To complete these works, we have installed a 2-way set of temporary traffic lights to control the flow of traffic. There are crossing points at either end of the worksite to divert pedestrians to the opposite footpath. This traffic management will remain in place until works are completed.
