New Harvil Road at New Chiltern Line Bridge – Night Time Road Closures over 4 Saturday Nights 23/11, 30/11, 07/12 & 14/12 (9pm to 6am)  
HS2/SCS have requested 4 Night time Road Closures on Harvil Road (between 9pm to 6am) on 4 consecutive Saturday Nights from Sat 23/11 until Sat 14/12. These works are to survey the Butt Welds underneath and on top of the new Chiltern Line Bridge over Harvil Road. 
The work can only be done on a Saturday Night due to limited Railway Possessions being available and over 4 Saturday Night Shifts as there are a lot of Welds that must be checked.
Dates:  23/11/24 – 24/11/24 (9pm until 6am)       30/11/24 – 01/12/24 (9pm until 6am) 07/12/24 – 08/12/24 (9pm until 6am)       14/12/24 – 15/12/24 (9pm until 6am)
The Road Closure would mean a Diversion along the A40. A full Road Closure is required due to the width of the Crane that will be used to inspect the Bridge        
New Dates
Road Closure of Skip Lane for Surveys of Utilities & Drainage – 10pm to 5am over 2 Phases between 30/11 and 04/12 (Phase 1) and 07/12 and 08/12 (Phase 2 Contingency Shift). 
HS2/SCS will be carrying out Surveys of the Utilities & Drainage on the section of road between Certas Oil Depot and the old Skip Lane junction (by the old Harvil Rd Bridge over the Chiltern Line).  
The Road will be Closed at Night between 10pm to 5am on the dates above.  
These works will not affect users of Harvil Road and will only impact the Businesses that use Skip Lane.
