🔹 More than 2,000 segments have been installed in less than 18 months
🔹 1.2 million cubic metres of material, mainly chalk, was excavated
🔹 Work now moves on to the portals, internal fit-out, backfilling and landscaping

The tunnel is being delivered by EKFB, the HS2 main works contractor for the central section of the route.
