Utility trial holes; Mornington Terrace and Mornington Street

As part of developing the route design of the HS2 high speed railway, we are carrying out utility trial hole surveys in Mornington Terrace and Mornington Street during July and August .

The surveys will involve temporary holes being dug which will enable us to establish where utilities and services are located beneath the road surface.

The trial holes will take place in stages across the entire width of the road, including footpaths, on Mornington Terrace and Mornington Street. Work will begin on all sites on 30 July , with all of the work completed by 17 August.

The following traffic management measures will be in place to allow Mornington Terrace and Mornington Street to remain open during the works:

  • The works will take place across the width of one carriageway of the road at a time, including the footway with the opposite lane and footpath open to public use at all times during the works
  • Parking bays on Mornington Terrace and Mornington Street will be suspended to ensure a safe working site is established.
  • The initial breaking out of the road will be the noisiest activity, although this will be intermittent. We will erect temporary screening clad with acoustic panels to reduce noise, working as quickly as possible and keep work areas tidy. We recognise the disturbance this work can create and apologise in advance.

    The notice delivered to residents, which includes a map, is available here .
