HS2 Works Update: Tunnel boring machine power supply works restarting in Hillingdon & Harrow from 18 May

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.

UKPN will be starting work on digging trenches and laying ducts that will hold the tunnel boring machine power cable from the 18 May. During the Covid-19 pandemic they will prioritise road junctions due to vehicle numbers being significantly reduced at the moment, which will help to relieve causing congestion when traffic levels return to normal. This phase of the scheme should take place until July. For more information please see the notice being sent to residents by clicking here . The affected road junctions will be:

Rayners Lane roundabout to Whittington Way

Whittington Way

Junction between Cannon Lane and Cannonbury Avenue

Deane Croft Road and Field End Road Junction

East Way Junction

Windmill Way Junction with Westholme Gardens

Windmill Way intersection with Manor Way

The White Bear roundabout in West Ruislip

Once these main junctions are complete UKPN will look to continue the work along the rest of the planned route. This work will not affect the electricity supply in the area. For more information on these works including a map of the route, please see the dedicated tunnel boring machine power supply page by clicking here .

Ruislip Rugby Club

We wish to update you on the current position with regards to the fields at Ruislip Rugby Club. Due to the amount of rain that fell throughout January and February, water-logging the soil when we completed our works the are was left rutted despite the use of protective matting. Due to COVID-19 we paused activities at this site. We can now confirm works will start this week to repair the area.
