HS2 has paused works at Colne Valley Viaduct to allow for “urgent remedial works” to be carried out inside the viaduct.

According to a letter sent to residents seen by CM, the remedial works, which will involve the breaking out of concrete, started on Monday (19 February) and will continue during the night “for the next 2-3 days”.

The letter said: “As you may be aware, the launching girder for the Colne Valley Viaduct has now reached the Grand Union Canal next to Harefield Marina. The girder was due to start moving over the Grand Union Canal this week, however, we have had to pause this whilst urgent remedial works are carried out inside the viaduct.”
