The current viaduct is being replaced because it lacks the necessary clearance for HS2 trains, prompting the construction of a new structure designed to support the area’s future transportation needs. This major infrastructure project will necessitate the closure of the existing viaduct, leading to potential disruptions on multiple bus services for up to 18 months.
