Keeping in line with the local area\u2019s feel, an \u2018ironstone\u2019 cladding has been applied to the new canal viaduct<\/h2>\n

The HS2<\/a> Oxford Canal viaduct\u2019s cladding was first revealed in 2023<\/a>\u00a0and has now been installed as the viaduct’s signature feature.<\/p>\n

The cladding consists of a warm-brown stone covering, something that has been a staple of the area for over a century.<\/p>\n

The cladding covers prominent parts of the viaduct<\/h3>\n

The cladding, when fully finished, will cover the piers and abutment facing onto the towpath. The cladding is also featured along the canal, where is was laid by hand in sections being lifted into position to avoid waterway closures.<\/p>\n

A team of bricklayers is laying 2,000 individual blocks around the concrete piers, with many bricks needing to be cut to shape to fit the geometry.<\/p>\n

The blocks are made from locally sourced stone, with the name ironstone being drawn from the small amount of iron ore found in the material.<\/p>\n

The viaduct has been designs to remain an open space, keeping it an inviting area for boaters and walkers wishing to see the view.<\/p>\n

HS2 Ltd\u2019s senior project manager, Sam Arrowsmith said: \u201cMore than two hundred years ago, the first canals revolutionised transportation and helped to build the country we live in today so it\u2019s fitting that our contemporary design includes a nod back to those eighteenth-century pioneers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce complete, HS2 will transform journeys across the UK, provide more capacity on the existing rail network and help to boost the economy. But it\u2019s also important that key structures like the Oxford Canal viaduct are sensitive to their location, which is why we\u2019ve opted for the ironstone finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several viaducts are nearing completion<\/h3>\n

Earlier this month, the first section of the Saltley Viaduct was put into place; the bridge will replace the old viaduct over the 183 metre-long B4114, which was demolished in May.<\/p>\n

The first section was installed over the August bank holiday weekend, with 55 metres put into place by driving it across 125 metres above railway lines.<\/p>\n

Nic Ryder, HS2 Ltd\u2019s project manager for the works, said: \u201cOur engineering team is making fantastic progress and everyone worked incredibly hard over the Bank Holiday weekend to ensure we were finished in time for the railway to reopen.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the three months since the road closed, they have demolished the original structure and successfully installed the first span of the replacement bridge, putting us on track to proceed to the next phase.\u201d<\/p>\n
