London Road closures overnight

Oxfordshire County Council will be undertaking night-time road closures on the A420 London Road in Headington between Wharton Road and Green Road Roundabout.

The closures will be done in two phases, Phase one will start on Monday 27 April 2015 for four nights and phase two will start on Wednesday 6 May for two nights, subject to any bad weather or unforeseen circumstances during construction.

The work will include reconstruction and final surfacing of the carriageway.

The night-time road closures are necessary so that the final sections of road reconstruction and surfacing can be done. Unfortunately, this work cannot be undertaken safely under the current temporary traffic signals arrangement.

The two phases of work are as follows:

Phase 1: Monday 27 April to Thursday 30 April 2015 – this phase will involve reconstruction of the existing carriageway between Northfield Road and Green Road Roundabout.

Phase 2: Wednesday 6 May to Thursday 7 May 2015 – this phase will involve the installation of the final road surface between Wharton Road and Green Road Roundabout.

Noisy operations are only permitted until 11pm.

During the closure, staff (traffic gatemen) will be positioned at either end of the site to redirect traffic. Pedestrian marshals will also be strategically located around the works area to direct pedestrians and to ensure the safety of the public and workforce. We request that you give them your full support whether you are a pedestrian, cyclist or motorist. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.
