Notice of traffic management A418 Oxford Road

What we are doing

What are we doing?
Throughout 2023, work has continued on the realignment of the A418 Oxford Road including on the new overbridge which is currently under construction. In preparation for connecting the new piece of road to the existing A418, underground utilities must first be diverted.

In October, our team will be digging trial holes in preparation for upcoming utility diversion works, when a new electricity cable will be laid. In order to do this there will be traffic management for a single lane closure on alternating sides of the A418 Oxford Road. This is for safety reasons as our operatives will be working on and around the road.

This traffic management will be at off-peak times to keep disruption to road users to a minimum.
We will also be doing some vegetation clearance necessary for the A418 realignment at the verge, where a single tree will be removed. Our team will complete this under a temporary hold on traffic in both directions lasting a maximum of 15 minutes.

When will these works take place?
Traffic management will be in place on the A418 Oxford Road from Monday 9 – Tuesday 10 October on alternate lanes between 9am – 3pm.
A short hold on traffic in both directions will be in place for no longer than 15 minutes during these works.
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.

Wherever possible, we will minimise the impact on highway users by these works to avoid peak times.
