Latest update from HS2 re closure of Radstone Road
HS2 have provided an update regarding the date of reopening the Radstone Road.
Published: 5 March 2026
Duration
We would like to update you on the current closure. To complete the final remedial works, the road closure has been extended until mid-April 2026.
What we are doing
We are continuing works to complete the overbridge and finalise the new road alignment. This includes delivering the necessary improvements highlighted through our road safety audits, as well as undertaking some adjustment works at the western tie-in.
For further information from the engagement team, we are holding a drop in on 11 March between 1-4pm at Helmdon Village Hall, 20 Church Street Helmdon Northamptonshire NN13 5QJ.
What to expect
A full road closure 24 hours a day on a section of Radstone Road between Brackley and Helmdon. The road remains open on the old alignment for pedestrians and cyclists; however, we ask cyclists to dismount when travelling through the works area.
