HS2 works on A41 near Aylesbury among roadworks in …

Work on the controversial HS2 project in Buckinghamshire will see a major road partly closed in the coming days. Rolling traffic lights will be in place on the A41 Bicester Road as part of plans to realign the route to allow for the new railway line. One lane of the A41 will be closed between Aylesbury [1] and Waddesdon as a result of work on the high-speed rail project.

The works will take place from 9am to 3pm on Monday, April 17. An HS2 [2] spokesperson said: "In April, as part of Phase 1 of the A41 realignment, we will be carrying out ground investigations (GI) works along the A41 [3]. We will be drilling under the road to gain a sample of the existing materials used, so that it can be replicated when we join the new alignment with the existing A41 later in the year.

"As we will be conducting these GI works close to the local highway, we will need to introduce traffic management [5] in the form of a lane single closure with traffic lights to complete the works safely. There may be a short duration outside of the advertised times to allow for our traffic management crews to set up or take down road signage and traffic equipment. "Lane closures will not be operational during these times; however, you may see our crews setting up within the highway."
