Finalising Harvil Road realignment

Posted on by
From HS2

In September we told you that we would be carrying out utility works and construction activities to build and finalise the connection sections for the Harvil Road realignment from 9 October to 5 November.   We have rearranged these dates and the works will now take place from 23 October to 19 November 2023.   The construction activities that need to be completed during the closure include:
• Main water connections, including pressure testing
• Street lighting & electrical installation
• Highway & drainage construction
• Resurfacing, white lining and installation of street furniture
• Earthworks & fencing installation
To carry out the works safely, we will need:
• a lane closure from 23 October to 5 November, between the Dogs Trust and our site entrances (gate 2) and,
• a road closure from 30 October to 19 November between Certas bellmouth and the Dogs Trust for 24 hours a day for the three week period.   For further information please see our works notification.  https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/harvil-road-closure-october-2023/

  How this work might affect you
During the road closure, local access to residential and commercial properties (including the Dogs Trust) will be maintained, however, there will be no through access for emergency services. A clearly signed diversion will be in place via Moorhall Road / A412 / A40. The lane closure will be within the school half term holiday from 23 October to 27 October 2023. These works will be carried out in three phases:
• Phase 1 – From 23 October to 5 November
Northbound lane closure between the Dogs Trust entrance and the Gate 2 site access
• Phase 2 – From 30 October to 5 November
Road closure between Certas bellmouth and Shorthill Cottage
• Phase 3 – From 6 to 19 November
Road closure between the Dogs Trust and network bridge north of Skip Lane.     We would like to apologise in advance for any disruption or inconvenience the road closure may cause. Every effort is being taken to ensure that these works are carried out in the least impactful way.   We expect to have completed the realignment of Harvil Road in autumn this year.
