HS2 railway

The High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Act 2017 gave powers to HS2 Ltd, to build a new railway that will cross part of the Three Rivers District.

There will be 1.4 miles of track in Three Rivers District, just south of Maple Cross and near to West Hyde between a 2 mile viaduct over the Colne Valley and a tunnel under the Chilterns. The works in Hertfordshire are being undertaken by Align JV. 

Three Rivers District Council raised serious concerns during the hybrid bill process about the impact of the works and has received assurances from the Government about the way the railway will be built, including the construction of temporary slip roads to link the M25 with the site to reduce heavy construction traffic on local roads.
