HS2 Ltd has revealed the first images of its planned Oxford Canal Viaduct and is seeking views from the local community about the design of the viaduct between Banbury and Daventry. Set low in the landscape, three prestressed concrete spans will take the railway 62.5 meter across the canal, towpath and a country lane near the village of Wormleighton.
It is one of 15 viaducts and bridges across the central section of the HS2 route, which is being designed by HS2’s main works contractor EKFB (made up of Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial, and Bam Nuttall), working with architects Moxon and design partners ASC (a team comprising Arcadis, Setec, and Cowi).
