Breakspear Road South Road Closure for Conveyor Bridge Removal – Fri 28/11 at 8pm to Sun 30/11 at 8pm
HS2/SCS have agreed with LBH that Breakspear Road South will be Closed at the Chiltern Railway Bridge while the Conveyor Bridge that oversails the Highway is removed These works have been rescheduled to take place on the weekend of Fri 28/11 at 8pm to Sun 30/11 at 8pm.
The Conveyor Bridge carries the Conveyor system that was used to transport the TBM Spoil/Material over Breakspear Road South towards the Treatment Area at Harvil Road Gate 1. Now that both TBMs have completed their tunnelling between West Ruislip and Greenpark Way in LB Ealing the Conveyors are being removed and the Bridges that carry the Conveyor can also be removed.
These works will involve laying Matting on the road surface to protect it, then using a Crane to lower the Bridge to ground level before dismantling and removing it. The road would then be cleared with the Matting removed before reopening to the public.
- There will be no Emergency Services Access during this Road Closure due to overhead lifting operations on the carriageway.
- The Pedestrian Crossing which runs diagonally underneath the Chiltern Line Bridge will be closed for the duration of this Road Closure (also due to overhead lifting).
- Notices & Signage will be installed in advance to advise walkers of the Pedestrian Crossing Closure.
- The Diversion Route has now been confirmed with HS2/SCS and is the usual Diversion via Swakeleys Road, Ickenham High Road, Bury Street, Breakspear Road
