HS2/SCS have been in discussion with LBH Officers regarding the next Phase of works on Harvil Road that they hope to have completed by early July 2023 (prior to the major works on Moorhall Road for the Colne Valley Viaduct Crossing).

The 4 Week Full Road Closure has now been agreed with HS2/SCS, as this was seen as the best possible solution rather than facing a longer period of very disruptive Traffic Management under other proposals.

Please follow the link for the HS2 Communications regarding this Closure – For further information please see the works notification. https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/notice-of-harvil-road-closure/
The works being carried out during this Road Closure are the most disruptive remaining in the Realignment Programme, and once these works are completed, the remaining Phases of works in the Autumn should be carried out under temporary Traffic Lights before a final short Road Closure is required in order to transfer between the existing Road and the new Realigned Road.
LBH and HS2/SCS confirm the Full Road Closure will be from Mon 12/06 until Sun 09/07 in the section between the Dogs Trust and the Bridge by Skip Lane.

While the Road Closure is in place by the Dogs Trust, there will also be 4-Way Traffic Lights between HS2 Gate 1 and Skip Lane to allow Affinity Water and BT works near the Certas Oil Depot. Any other works that can be carried out by HS2/SCS while the Road Closure is in place will be encouraged, in order to maximise the amount of work undertaken during the Closure.

In Summary – This work will consist of 2 Parts; a Full Road Closure by the Dogs Trust, and 4-Way Traffic Lights between HS2 Gate 1 & Skip Lane junction.
