What we are doing
As you’re aware, working on behalf of HS2 Ltd, National Grid is legally required to move a number of overhead electricity lines, pylons and gas pipelines along the HS2 route to allow for the build and operation of the new railway.
As we’ve mentioned previously, the new HS2 railway will pass above two of our existing gas pipelines in the vicinity of Den Lane in Wrinehill, Blakenhall, near Gonsley Green Farm. We intend to divert the gas pipelines between January to November 2024 so they can continue to operate safely and reliably.
None of our work will affect gas supplies. We don’t expect to close roads or to install temporary traffic lights while we carry out any of our work in Blakenhall.
UPDATE: JANURAY 2023 – I wrote to you on 17 October 2022 to let you know we were about to start ground investigation surveys in the area. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were unable carry out the work. We now expect to start the surveys around 23 January 2023.
