HS2 Euston Area client director Laurence Whitbourn said: “The construction of HS2 is rapidly increasing in pace and the handover of the Euston site to our construction partner Mace Dragados is another important milestone in the programme to build Britain’s new low-carbon, high-speed railway.

“The progress in our work comes at a good time as we help support the British economy and construction sector as part of the post-pandemic economic recovery creating new jobs and providing contract opportunities.”

Last month, HS2 shortlisted construction firms that will be invited to submit tenders to construct the Birmingham Curzon Street station.

In April, the UK Department for Transport (DfT) gave the ‘notice to proceed’ for the construction of HS2.
