Breakspear Road South closures (Part 2 of 2)

Posted on by

HS2/SCS has agreed with LBH that Breakspear Road South will be closed at the Chiltern Railway Bridge from Fri 03/10 at 8pm until Sun 05/10 at 8pm while the Conveyor Bridge that oversails the Highway is removed 
 
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.
 
These works had been scheduled for the last weekend of the school summer holidays in August but has been rescheduled at the request of HS2/SCS.

Breakspear Road South closures (Part 1 of 2)

Posted on by
HS2/SCS has requested a Lane Closure managed with 3-Way Traffic Lights (plus pedestrian crossings) within its normal Haul Road Traffic Lights setup on Breakspear Road South from Fri 25/07 at 5am until Mon 28/07 at 5am.  In theory the Lane Closure would require an additional Phase to be added to the current Traffic Management setup (which is the long-term Haul Road Crossing plus Pedestrian Phase in place since 2021). 
The Traffic Management setup for the works Fri 25/07 at 5am until Mon 28/07 at 5am is as follows
  Traffic Head – Northbound Traffic Head – Southbound Traffic Head  – HS2 Haul Road (on demand) Pedestrian Crossings (on demand)  
The works are to install a temporary Bellmouth Access between the new HS2 Bridge and the Chiltern Line Bridge next to the Southbound carriageway, which will be used to assist removing the Conveyor System, install Drainage and Landscaping on the Embankment next to the Chiltern Line.
 
The Bellmouth Access once installed and operational will be in place until around Sept 2026 with a maximum of 10-15 vehicles using this Access per day. Once operational there will be a re-phase of the Traffic Management in this location with an additional Traffic Head added to the Bellmouth to allow safe exit onto the Highway (which should be off set with fewer vehicle movements required going across the Haul Road Crossing).
 
 

Harvil Road resurfacing update

Posted on by

FROM HS2

Dear All. 

The dates of the upcoming Road Closure on Harvil Road for LBH to carry out resurfacing works have been confirmed by LBH Highways & their Contractor O’Haras as being from Mon 11/08 until Fri 29/08. 
This will be a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week Road Closure but there will be localised access for residents & businesses along this section of Harvil Road and for Emergency Service Vehicles on Blue Lights. I have provided the information below which is being added to the LBH HS2 Webpages over the next few days at HS2 in Hillingdon updates – Hillingdon Council  

If you could please circulate this notice to colleagues / contacts who may be affected that would be most appreciated:

CONFIRMED DATES Harvil Road Resurfacing – Full Road Closure – Mon 11/08 to Fri 29/08

The long awaited LBH resurfacing of Harvil Road between the junction with Swakeleys Road and HS2 Gate 1 Site has now been confirmed to take place from Mon 11/08 until Fri 29/08.

 This will be a Full Road Closure in place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to get this large area of road completely resurfaced.

 These works are now scheduled to be delivered across 19 days which will be a big reduction on the initially quoted 4 week Full Road Closure which would mean less disruption for users of Harvil Road in getting these essential works completed.

 Access to residents and businesses will be maintained for the properties on Harvil road within the extents of the Road Closure, however the access and egress points will change as the surfacing of the carriageway progresses. There may be instances where the residents will have to wait for a short period of time to ensure the safety of both members of the public and operatives is maintained. LBH are ensuring that there are sufficient Traffic Marshals to communicate clearly and also direct vehicles safely through the works extents.

Any Emergency Service Vehicle will be assisted when ‘Blue lighting’ through the works extents. If the instance arises whereas it is deemed unsafe to travel through the site Traffic Marshals will assist in ensuring the most direct appropriate route is set out. The confirmed Diversion Route is via Moorhall Road, Moorfield Road, A412, Denham Roundabout, A40, Swakeleys Roundabout, Swakeleys Road 

Update on borehole in West Ruislip station car park

Posted on by

We’re writing to update you about borehole works in West Ruislip Station car park.

HS2 Works Notification: Update on borehole works in West Ruislip Station car park 20 July to 25 July 2025

We wrote to you earlier in June 2025 about works to drill a borehole in West Ruislip Station carpark from 25 June to 3 July.  

We need to carry out a visual survey using handheld equipment. We will then drill a borehole in the ground. Once the borehole is complete, we will install a secure cover. The borehole will be located in between parking spaces so we can routinely access it to take readings. 

These works are now expected to take place from 20 July to 25 July.

During this work, we will suspend seven parking bays in the West Ruislip Station car park.

Garden waste update from LBH

Posted on by

We’re getting in touch to let you know about a change to our garden waste collection service.  
.
From Monday 7 July, garden waste will only be collected from residents who have subscribed to our new fee-based collections. 
Subscribers will receive weekly household collections in spring, summer and autumn (fortnightly in winter) and a 270-litre capacity per collection (three 90-litre canvas sacks) as standard*, for a £70 annual fee.   
You can register now. Once you sign up, you’ll be sent three green tags to attach to the handles of your current canvas sacks to confirm your subscription.
We are already receiving high numbers of subscriptions and, due to manufacturer logistical issues, there’s a chance some tag deliveries may be delayed. However, our crews are able to check all households that have subscribed in real-time during their rounds, so if you’ve not received your tags when your collection is due, please write your house number on your sacks in permanent marker and they will be collected.
*An additional three sacks and three tags can be requested via the council website if required.
