News on HS2 in Bucks & Oxfordshire

We are working closely with our construction partners to review the works on all our construction sites in line with Government and Public Health England (PHE) advice on dealing with Covid-19. The Government’s current Covid-19 strategy makes clear that construction activity can continue as long as it complies with this guidance, which you can see by clicking here .

The below works are going ahead as our contractors are confident that they can operate in line with PHE and industry guidance, protecting our staff and the communities in which they are working.

Junction improvement works

To prepare for construction traffic accessing the Chiltern Tunnel vent shaft site at Amersham, works will be taking place at the A404/A413 and Whielden Lane junction from 18 May to 4 July. These works will see Whielden Lane closed to through traffic, with a diversion in place, day and night working and temporary bus stop closures.
