HS2’s interactive works map We have introduced a new, user-friendly interactive map to the HS2 website, making it easier and simpler for you to find out what current and upcoming works we are carrying out in your area.

The new map brings all of our work notifications together on one webpage, making it easier for you to navigate and ensure you are kept up to date on the work we are doing to deliver the new railway. There is also a text only view, which allows you to view the information in a table and filter results for each area.

Each work item, highlighted on the map with a 'hard hat' icon, lets you know: • the location and planned duration of the works • which contractor is delivering it, and • what kind of activity they are doing, such as setting up a compound or an archaeological dig.
