HS2: Civils delays 'will not impact' opening date

摘要

Delays to the start of civils construction on phase one of HS2 will not affect its opening date, the boss of the £55.7bn project has told Construction News. Speaking at the London Infrastructure Summit, CEO Mark Thurston said HS2 still intended to open the London-to-Birmingham phase by the end of 2026, and that the delayed notice to proceed for the £6.8bn civils contracts would not affect this.
