First completed sections of HS2’s Curzon Street Station viaduct

HS2 have completed the first sections of the iconic viaduct that will bring high speed trains into Birmingham’s new Curzon Street Station.

It marks the next step on the programme to build a series of viaducts to carry the railway through Birmingham’s industrial heartland and into the city centre.

The completed six metre-high section of viaducts is where the structure widen from a single deck to four separate decks, spanning 65 metres at the widest point, to carry the tracks to the Curzon Street Station platforms.

Listen to Stefan as he explains how these structures were built.
