HS2 is being reset. We've announced an updated cost and construction schedule to complete the railway, using the same methodology that successfully delivered the Elizabeth Line. With a four-year funding settlement secured, the programme has the stability to focus on improving productivity, enabling tighter cost control and ensuring construction work happens in the right order.👇🧵.

The last of over 5,000 reinforced concrete segments has been lifted into position for the Chipping Warden 'green tunnel' - marking a major milestone for one of the longest 'cut and cover' tunnels on the project 👇🎥. Set to stretch for one-and-a-half miles, the tunnel is being built inside a cutting, with the earth put back on top afterwards, helping to blend the high-speed railway into the landscape and cut noise and disturbance for people living nearby.

HS2's longest tunnel is now complete – a significant milestone for Britain's new high-speed railway. ✔️ Final works at the tunnel's vent shafts at Chesham Road and Little Missenden bring to an end almost five years of construction beneath the Chilterns. Once tracks and overhead electrical equipment are installed, trains will travel through the 10-mile tunnel at 200mph – crossing it in just three minutes. 🚄 Watch the story of the Chiltern Tunnel here 👉

Alongside building Britain's new high-speed railway, HS2 is delivering one of the UK's largest environmental programmes. At our Cubbington Woods site in #Warwickshire, we've planted thousands of native trees 🌳 and created 7 ponds that are already home to swifts, swallows, newts, frogs and dragonflies . Watch the video to see how we're creating new habitats at other locations too.

A landmark moment at Birmingham Curzon Street. 🏗️ Engineers have completed all 2,011 concrete piles that will form the foundations of the new station — each one sunk up to 24 metres into the ground. The team also excavated 47,000 cubic metres of material to create a level base for the station. With the piling now complete, attention turns to preparing the way for the Digbeth extension to the West Midlands Metro and the completion of the remaining foundation works. Watch the video to see how it's all coming together ⬇️

Our teams have successfully slid a huge viaduct section over the #M6 motorway near Birmingham Airport. The M6 South #viaduct west deck, weighing 3,726 tonnes, was slid 76.6m into place — and the road reopened ahead of schedule ✅. Whilst the viaduct was being moved, our teams also used the closure to install 38 parapets for the structure, with 20 people working on the parapet operation alone. In total, over 100 people worked across the day and night shifts to make this happen👷👍.

A 1.5-mile section of the Grand Union Canal, owned by the charity, Canal & River Trust, has reopened to the public – seven days ahead of schedule - after HS2 engineers successfully launched a 130-metre-long Longhole viaduct into position over the canal 🎥👇. The viaduct is situated just one kilometre from the north portal of the Long Itchington Wood Tunnel. When trains emerge from the tunnel, they will travel along the Ufton Wood cutting before joining the Welsh Road embankment, which connects to Longhole viaduct. Find out more:

Our engineers have lifted the last of six enormous viaduct spans that will carry high speed trains over the M42 in the West Midlands, during a weekend closure of the motorway 👇🎥. The operation at the Water Orton viaducts site was completed in the early hours of this morning, with the motorway reopening at around 4am as planned. To take full advantage of the closure, a separate team - three miles to the south – spent the weekend lifting the last beams that will support another major bridge known as the ‘twin box’.

The Curzon 2 viaduct has successfully been launched over the Birmingham Cross City line. This huge engineering feat was achieved during a weekend railway closure. Reaching 40 metres at its highest point, this viaduct is a landmark addition to the #Birmingham skyline. By working within a pre-agreed closure window with Birmingham New Street, our teams were able to push the viaduct over the existing rail lines safely, handing the tracks back on time for the first trains on Monday morning. Our latest YouTube video takes you through the weekend push, where the massive steel truss was slid into place using a precision jacking system. Watch it here:

We've started tunnelling to #Euston 👍 The first of two tunnel boring machines building the HS2 route to Euston has begun it's 4.5-mile journey from Old Oak Common. Bringing #HS2 into Euston is critical for the regeneration of the area, with the potential to contribute £41 billion to the #UK economy. This TBM launch comes as HS2 is at an advanced stage of the reset. Being led by our CEO Mark Wild, the reset is crucial to putting HS2 back on track and unlocking the project’s transformational benefits – vital new rail capacity and economic growth. Find out more:
