Building to Birmingham: 🚆 HS2's Curzon approaches progress update 🏗️

Описание: The Curzon Approaches is a vital stretch of the HS2 route, guiding high-speed trains into the heart of Birmingham at the new Curzon Street Station.

Passing through industrial areas and residential neighbourhoods, this section includes a complex network of tunnels, viaducts, and bridges.

In this in-depth update, we’re on the ground with the team as they bring key parts of the infrastructure to life.

🔹 What’s happening on site:
✔️ The Bromford Tunnel team is gearing up for their first breakthrough.
✔️ Behind the hoardings look at the complex structures that will define the city skyline.
✔️ Preparations underway for summer of major bridge launches.

💡 What’s Next?
Focus now shifts to completing the 3.5-mile (5.6km) twin-bore tunnel linking Water Orton in North Warwickshire to Washwood Heath in Birmingham. Two TBMs—Mary Ann and Elizabeth—are hard at work underground, pushing forward on this major section of the route.
