What we are doing
Weekend road closure on Victoria Road to install conveyor crossing over road and rail
During 2021, we began the construction work for the conveyor system between our sites in Old Oak and park Royal to allow for the movement of excavated material between sites. The conveyor system will help reduce construction traffic on local roads while we build HS2.
As part of the system to connect the Victoria Road Flat Iron site and the Atlas Road site, we will be installing an enclosed conveyor crossing over Dudding Hill bridge on Victoria Road. These works will require the use of a 1000 tonne crane to lift the bridge segments into position.
To install the conveyor crossing safely, Victoria Road will be closed to vehicles from 9pm on Friday 24 September to 6am on Monday 27 September. The works will be carried out during a track possession when trains are not running. This means that we will be working during the day and overnight. There will be lighting in place to support the works – this will be directed away from residential properties.
If the conveyor crossing cannot be installed on this weekend unforeseen circumstance or weather conditions that would make the installation unsafe, the works are planned on one of the following weekends: 1 to 4 October, 8 to 11 October or 15 to 17 October 2021.
We will inform you in advance if we require to complete the works on an additional weekend.
