HS2 works update

Updated Harvil Road Night Time Road Closures for Snagging Works – Mon 28/04 to Mon 19/05
 
Please note that the remainder of the Bridge Inspections on the HROC Bridge are no longer required as HS2 deem that they have enough data from those already completed to determine any remedial works required to the Welds going forward.
 
That means the current 3 Week Night Time Road Closures on Harvil Road as detailed below are now only to complete outstanding snagging works:
 

  • drainage cover repairs on the carriageway
  • white lining (weather dependant)
  • sealant works on the parapets on the new bridge along Harvil Road
  • snagging works along the footpath on Harvil Road to repair paving defects and cracks

 
There are Road Closures 7 Nights of the week, with extended hours on a Friday and Saturday Night Shift. I have detailed the dates and times of the Road Closures below:

Updated Demobilisation works at West Ruislip Portal Site – March to Sept 2025 
With the 2nd Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) Caroline completing her tunnelling journey to Greenpark Way Vent Shaft in April 2025, works will continue to remove tunnelling support structures inside and outside the tunnels at West Ruislip Portal Site. There will be demobilisation and removal works carried out for the following:
 

  • The conveyor structure – ongoing
  • The launch chamber entrance – ongoing
  • Rail siding – ongoing
  • Gantry cranes and segment yard – ongoing
  • Conveyor bridges – to be scheduled

Updated May 2025 – Below is a Table & Map that shows the indicative demobilisation works programme over the next few months: 

Updated Decommissioning and Removal of Rail Siding at West Ruislip Portal – March to June 2025 
The last Night Time delivery of TBM Segments by Railway to the West Ruislip Portal took place on 14/03 so now works have begun to decommission and remove the Rail Siding that accesses the HS2 Site from the main Chiltern Railway Line. 
The sequence of the works begins with the removal of the track happening first, followed by the removal of the ballast. It is expected that the Rail Siding should now be completely removed by June 2025.
