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 SCS sites in Old Oak Common and North Acton. 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 wrote to you in September about works to remove sections of the conveyor system in North Acton.
Due to upcoming weather conditions, we will not be able to complete the removal of the bridge between 3 and 6 October 2025. However, we will maintain the road closure to complete preparation works to enable the removal of the bridge, as well as emergency road works.
