THE construction of a new Stockley Flyover, in preparation for Crossrail, will start early next year.

The work will be carried out by building firm Carillion, with the contract being awarded by Network Rail last week.

The larger overpass, due to be be completed in 2016, will be in the very busy Heathrow Airport Junction area, close to Rigby Lane Civic Amenity site in Hayes, and allow Crossrail services to operate to and from Heathrow.

A new single track viaduct for all trains from Heathrow towards London will be built, ensuring that trains will be able to join the branch to Heathrow without delaying – or being delayed by – fast trains to the west.

Crossrail services are due to start running in 2018.

Hayes and Harlington and West Drayton rail stations are both on the £15 billion line, and are set for major revamps, with plans set to be submitted early next year.
