This is not the case in this work.You will not see any express trains in this area until mid to late 2025 with safety being the number reason since it is more rigid than construction sites. All work next to a live track has to be shut down with equipment moved away from the track with workers been well clear of the tracks.
So long as a hard delineation can be made - say, fast fences or jersey barriers - then the construction can go on without stoppages. That delineation separates the rail corridor from the surrounding corridor, and allows for general construction rules to apply, not railway ones.
Which is good, as there is a huge shortage of railway-certified construction crews right now.
