Water Orton

The tunnel is the first of two bores of the Bromford Tunnel from Warwickshire to Birmingham.

A 1,600-tonne boring machine is currently working more than 40m under Birmingham.

One person had to be cut free from the lorry cab by fire crews.

Old Saltleians were left without a home for four years after their land was bought for HS2 work.

Hedgerows have been ripped up and HS2 roadworks are in place leading residents to ask what will happen now?

Road closures, vibrations and noise are making life difficult in the village, residents say.

The overnight closures will pave the way for a viaduct to carry the rail line over the motorway.
