Behind the breakthrough 👀

We were right there in the cabin as TBM 'Elizabeth' broke through to the Washwood Heath Portal earlier this week.

See the real-time reactions of our TBM pilot and crew as they completed this major milestone for HS2. A huge shoutout to the entire tunnelling team for their incredible skill, grit, and teamwork.

Watch the moment as it happened 📽️👆

HS2 engineers have completed Curzon 2, the tallest bridge on the new high-speed network.

Curzon 2 is part of the Curzon approaches, a network of five viaducts forming the final mile into HS2's Curzon Street Station.

The 4,200 tonne bridge will reach its final position on 5th June creating a stunning new addition to the Birmingham skyline.

Last weekend, engineers at #HS2 successfully pushed the first section of the 650m long Duddeston Junction viaduct over two freight lines – with the freight line reopening earlier than expected.

Duddeston Junction viaduct is the longest of five viaducts forming the 'Curzon Approaches' – the one-mile stretch of railway that will carry high speed trains into #Birmingham Curzon Street Station.🚄

Our engineers have begun installing a dedicated cycle bridge that will connect the Offchurch Greenway in Warwickshire to Route 41 of the national cycle network.

The new bridge will keep cyclists and walkers away from passing traffic, making it an important local asset, as well as forming part of a national cycle route through the English countryside maintained by the charity Walk Wheel Cycle Trust.

Engineers working on the West Midlands section of the HS2 route are getting ready to launch the second huge viaduct over the M6.

The west deck of the M6 South viaduct, which will carry high speed trains towards Birmingham, is being assembled in four sections. The first 107 metre section will be slid over the M6 junction 4 southbound slip road on 11th April 2026.

TBM Karen is boring HS2's final tunnel — 4.5 miles from Old Oak Common to Euston, 24 hours a day.

Named after one of Britain's first female train drivers, she's now being operated by Avanti drivers keeping that legacy alive. 🚄

This week we'd like to share these photos of TBM Karen, the final of 11 tunnel boring machines to launch on HS2 📷👇.

The 1,624-tonne, 198-metre machine will tunnel 4.5 miles from Old Oak Common towards Euston Station to complete the second bore of the Euston Tunnel.

Across both bores of the Euston Tunnel, 48,294 concrete segments will be installed and 1.5 million tonnes of spoil excavated.
