High Speed 2 Railway Line: Broxtowe
(asked on 27th June 2019) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an estimate of the cost of constructing a bored tunnel beneath Broxtowe for High Speed Two.
This question was answered on 2nd July 2019
HS2 Ltd has considered a number of tunnel options in the East Midlands Hub area including those set out in the Working Draft Environmental Statement Alternatives Report. However, tunnel options in this area have not been progressed due to the significant length of the tunnel, significant cost impacts and flood risk. HS2 Ltd will continue to work with the local community to minimise the impact of HS2, including appropriate mitigation where necessary.
