HS2 Works Notification: Overnight road closure on Breakspear Road South

We wrote to you recently to advise you that we would be carrying out works along Breakspear Road South, north and south of the Network Rail bridge from 27 to 30 January 2023. However, we need to reschedule these works and they will now take place overnight from 15 to 20 March 2023.
These works will include the following activities:

  • concrete pour for the deck of the new bridge over Breakspear Road South;
  • utility investigation works between the HS2 bridge and the Network Rail bridge;
  • installation of the conveyor bridge (for the removal of tunnel excavation arisings from West Ruislip Portal to the Southern Sustainable Placement Area). These works are dependent on weather conditions and we will therefore need to work 25 and 26 March to complete the installation; and
  • installation of road line markings and highways signage onto the masonry of the Network Rail bridge.
    During the road closure access will be maintained for residents and emergency services.
    Please see details of the works at https://www.hs2.org.uk/work-items/overnight-road-closure-on-breakspear-road-south/
    Our work is subject to change – for live traffic information go-to https://one.network/ and please check on-the-road signs.

HS2 Works Notification: Thames Water works on The Greenway
Thames Water will be returning to The Greenway to carry out further work on the manhole outside no 43, next week.
Thames Water need to fill the manhole with concrete at this location. To do this, they will use a pump on Tuesday 7 March. The vehicle carrying concrete will need to reverse up part of the road and will have two banksmen directing it at all times, it will give way to other vehicles.
The road will remain open at all times, but as before it will be reduced to one lane for a short distance– give way signs will be in place. On road parking will be restricted in the immediate area but residents will be able to access their driveways at all times.
Footpaths on both sides of the road will remain open.
Work will take place on Tuesday 7 March. The traffic management will be setup on Monday 6 March and removed on Wednesday 8 March.

Breakspear Road South
HS2/SCS has detailed works on Breakspear Road South that are Programme Critical and must be completed over the next couple of months.

Less urgent but still required are works including a Utilities Trench across the road for the connection for the TBM water supply, a Concrete Pour for the deck of the new HS2 Bridge and Patch Repairs to Pot Holes around Chiltern Bridge area to HS2 Site entrance.
