HS2 gets green light for Buckinghamshire viaduct

A 345-metre-long viaduct that will take HS2 trains across the A413 and local rail lines south of Wendover has been given the green light by Buckinghamshire Council.
The viaduct is one of only two places in the Chilterns where the HS2 route will be above ground level, with the underside of the viaduct just 6m above the road, supported by five ‘Y’ shaped piers.
Its girders will be made from weathering steel which naturally ages to a dark russet finish to blend in with the natural tones
