News on HS2 in Bucks & Oxfordshire

As part of our continuing works ahead of the construction of the railway we need to construct a small compound and material laydown area for our highway improvement works in the area. This work includes:

• Setting up a small works area

• In some areas stripping topsoil and installing hardcore material to firm the ground for our vehicles

• Laying areas of temporary track matting to create a works access road from the existing highway entrance

• Erecting temporary fencing and placing low level lighting

• Delivery of plant and machinery required for the works

• 24-hour security on the site during the period of the works

• Storage of construction materials

The construction compound is a local hub for the highway construction works in the area and will provide office and welfare facilities, including car parking. The compound will operate during weekday nights, and during the day to support highway improvements further along the A41. The highway works will be taking place overnight to minimise travel disruption. The compound will be established in October and will remain operational until summer 2021.
