We've completed the construction of the new A41 overbridge bridge, two roundabouts and 2.6km of road realignment near Aylesbury ✅ . The A41, a key road linking #Aylesbury and #Bicester, was reopened on Monday 23 September after a weekend closure to reroute it via a new bridge across the HS2 route near Waddesdon. The new road surface over the bridge was laid over the weekend with traffic using the new alignment from 5.30am on Monday morning. The A41 overbridge was built slightly north of the existing road over two years and stretches for 80 metres across a cutting that will carry HS2 rail services between London and the West Midlands. It is one of 500 bridging structures on the HS2 project, which range from small footbridges and drainage culverts to innovative ‘green bridges’ for wildlife and huge viaducts such as the record-breaking Colne Valley Viaduct which is now the longest of its kind in the UK.

From clay to gourmet! 🧑🍳👩🍳 This weekend we celebrated working with local artists at our #OldOakCommon superhub station site, with a lunch served on "low-speed" plates & bowls made using London Clay excavated from the station box. 🤩🎉. HS2 collaborated with Absolute Beginners, an arts organisation led by artist Tom James, and local young people who have been learning to use the clay to make objects. The group of 17-21 year olds began using the clay to make a simple plate in 2023, learning how to process, manipulate and fire the clay. The group has now made a dinner service of 100 plates and 100 bowls from some of the excavated materials – affectionately given the name ‘low speed plates’. Made in the unique Absolute Beginners way, using off-grid power, local materials and simple tools, the ceramics are a reminder of the foundations of the station under our feet, London clay. The new dinner service will be used by the HS2 station team to celebrate construction milestones through annual meals with local communities and stakeholders - all served and eaten from the service.
