HS2 remedial works near Crewe

Ground investigation remediation works are taking place on land near Crewe, as part of efforts to reverse preparatory work carried out for the cancelled HS2 rail project.

The works are being carried out on land just off Newcastle Road at Chorlton Bridge, alongside the West Coast Main Line.

HS2 Ltd has commissioned contractor, Balfour Beatty, to carry out the work, which allegedly includes removing borehole apparatus and addressing land transfers associated with the former rail scheme.
