What we are doing
In preparation for the construction of Banbury Road Overbridge, we need to accurately identify the existing utilities that are located under Banbury Road, Warwick Road and Wormleighton Road.
In order to identify these utilities, we will be carrying out trial hole surveys, as well as ground penetrating radar. The trial hole surveys involve drilling small inspection holes into the highway or verge, to identify the exact depth and condition of utility pipes and cables. The holes are then immediately backfilled once all details are recorded. As these surveys involve our workforce working on the highway, some temporary, daytime road closures will be required. Traffic lights or lane closures are not possible in these locations due to the narrow road width.
To help minimise disruption and maintain access for local communities, we will be conducting these works in three phases. This allows us to provide shorter diversion routes and reduces the overall impact on road users. The closures will be daytime, between 8am and 6pm, however this is the maximum daily period and wherever possible we will open the road earlier.
The three phases of work are detailed below:
Phase 1 – A section of Banbury Road will be fully closed from 8.00am to 6.00pm, Monday 1 August to Friday 5 August 2022.
Phase 2 – A section of Warwick Road will be fully closed from 8.00am to 6.00pm, Monday 8 August to Friday 12 August 2022.
Phase 3 – A section of Wormleighton Road will be fully closed from 8.00am to 6.00pm, Monday 15 August to Friday 19 August.
