Notice of lane closure A418 Oxford Road - 7th & 8th December

Notice of lane closure A418 Oxford Road

Along the A418 we need to undertake some urgent maintenance in the wooded area along the northern side of the A418 Oxford Road.

Following an incident where a tree branch fell into the live carriageway due to high winds in the area, we have surveyed the immediate trees and vegetation and identified a selection that require immediate maintenance to prevent any further incidents, before the onset of any further bad weather.

This will involve the removal of any overhanging branches near the road and footpath and the limited removal of some trees where necessary for public safety reasons.

We will install temporary traffic lights to create a lane closure where we can work safely.

When will these works take place?

• Thursday 7 December and Friday 8 December between 9.30am and 3pm.

These works have been scheduled to take place outside of peak hours to cause minimum disruption to road users.
