High Speed Two (HS2) is the new high speed railway for Britain. Kier is carrying out surveys and investigating ground conditions along the phase 2a route.
What they are doing
They recently carried out ground penetrating radar and topographical surveys which are above ground. Their next step is to do further surveys to help inform future construction design. This work involves pavement coring, bore holes, trail pits on and off the highway. They will excavate below ground to provide samples and allow them to view the structure and record the layout of land. To carry out this work safely, they will use traffic lights during the day and will put in a road closure along Yarnfield Lane overnight, throughout a 4-week period. This traffic management will only be required when the work is being carried out otherwise the road will remain open and the traffic management will be removed from site.
When the work will take place
The work will take place from Monday 28th November to Friday 23rd December 2022. They will work during the day on temporary traffic lights from 8:00am to 4:00pm and during the night with road closures from 7:00pm to 5:00am. Please note that all planned roadworks may be subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
