What we are doing
As we continue to construct the A423 Banbury Road Overbridge, we will be carrying out vegetation removal and other preparation works along the A423.
An ecologist will complete a detailed survey of the area to be cleared prior to any vegetation removal. Any protected species found to be present will be recorded and if required, the vegetation may be left undisturbed with the appropriate buffer zone established.
For the safety of road users and our staff, temporary traffic lights will be installed along section of A423, between Ladbroke and Southam for 3 days. This will be immediately followed by a full road closure during the weekend.
We will be working 24-hours a day during the weekend, therefore reducing the impacts on weekday commuter traffic. Wherever possible we will schedule noisy work activity to daytime, but local residents may notice some increased noise throughout this work.
A highway layby, located south of our compound, on the A423 will be closed from April, and will then remain closed for the duration of the overbridge construction.
The A423 Banbury Road, between Ladbroke and Southam will have:
- Traffic lights from Wednesday 15 March to Friday 17 March 2023, between 8am and 5pm.
- Road closure from 8pm on Friday 17 March to 6am on Monday 20 March 2023, 24-hours a day.
- Traffic lights may be required on Monday 20 March and Tuessday 21 March until 5pm to complete the work.
These dates may be subject to change due to circumstances outside of our control, such as poor weather.
