A notice from High Speed Two (HS2) – the new high speed railway for Britain.
We are continually reviewing the works on our construction sites in line with Government and Public Health England (PHE) advice on dealing with COVID-19. The Government’s current strategy makes it clear that construction activity can continue as long as it complies with this guidance. Please be assured that only sites that can operate within the guidelines are operational. All sites will remain under constant review. We have postponed all face-to-face engagement events and meetings and have put in place a number of channels to communicate with communities, such as letters and phone calls, as well as updates and alerts from each of the local community websites. You can sign up for regular updates in your local area at www.hs2inbucksandox.co.uk
Saturday 13th February – Sunday 14th February
Work will be undertaken between 6.00am and 6:00pm on both Saturday and Sunday to complete surveys, trial holes and vegetation clearance on Finmere Bridge. There will also be the construction of a hard surface to support the crane next to the A4421, in preparation for the bridge demolition. The A4421 will then reopen for traffic over night to minimise disruption as much as possible.
Friday 5th March – Monday 8th March
The A4421 will be closed at Finmere Bridge from Friday 5th March 8:00pm until 6.00am on Monday 8th March. The road will be closed to traffic to ensure the safe demolition of Finmere Bridge.
We have put in place contingency dates for the demolition in case of significant issues such as adverse weather. Our contingency dates will be Friday 12th March to Monday 15th March. These will only be used if the demolition cannot take place from the 5th-8th March as planned.
