What we are doing
During March we reopened Bicester Road (formerly the A41) on it’s new narrowed layout. This work forms part of the overall A41 Bicester Road realignment project. In early May we will be closing this narrowed section of Bicester Road to carry out finishing works including seeding the verges, surfacing the pedestrian footway, removal of obsolete signage and to facilitate a routine road safety inspection of the new piece of road.
For reasons of safety, we will be fully closing the road over 2 days as we will be working on and around the carriage way. We are unable to complete these works with single lane closures and traffic signals, as the narrower road layout would not allow a sufficient safety zone for our operatives. A signposted diversion route will be in place. Access for pedestrians, residents and emergency services will be maintained.
This road closure will be during off peak hours to minimise travel disruption as much as possible:
• Thursday 1 May – Friday 2 May 2025, 9am-3pm
These dates may change due to conditions outside of our control. Please refer to the HS2 website regularly to check for any changes and
updates. We will endeavour to complete this works in and around the stated time frame.
