We have just been informed of the following by the County Council
Temporary Traffic Regulation Order – S14 Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984
Temporary Prohibition of Through Traffic
On the A40 Northern Bypass (South and North sides) – Oxford – adjacent to the Barton Park Development
UPDATE ON WORKS – June/July 2016 – Further ten overnight closures – 8.00pm to 6.00am to enable works to be completed
This Order was introduced for works in association with the construction of a temporary and then permanent access for the Barton Park development across the Marston bound (South) and the Headington bound (North) sides of the A40 Northern Bypass (the works) which are anticipated to take a further ten nights in June and July 2016 to complete.
The effect of the Order is to temporarily prohibit any vehicle proceeding in the length of the A40 Northern Bypass as described below.
Appropriate traffic signs will be displayed to indicate when the measures are in force.
A request was received from CABlackwell (Contracts) Ltd for a Temporary Prohibition of Through Traffic to apply to a section of the A40 Northern Bypass.
A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) was made in March 2016 to implement the Temporary Prohibition of Through Traffic as detailed below:
Location: A40 Northern bypass (South)
Closure Direction: Northwest -from the Headington Roundabout to the Marston Interchange
Five Overnight Closures:
27, 28, 29, 30 June, 1 July 2016 (ending 6.00am 2 July) 8.00pm to 6.00am
Diversion:
From the Headington Roundabout – For Northwest bound traffic
South on A4142 Eastern Bypass, Heyford Hill Roundabout, A423 Southern Bypass, Hinksey Hill Interchange, A34 Southern Bypass, Botley Interchange, A34 Western Bypass, Pear Tree Hill Interchange, A44 Woodstock Road, North Way, Elsfield Way, A40 Northern Bypass, Marston Interchange
Note:
The above overnight closures will happen during the overnight closures of Westbound A40 Elsfield Way, as part of the Northern Gateway Scheme; therefore there will be NO access to North Oxford, via the A40 Northern Bypass from the Marston Interchange. Access to the A40 from the Marston Interchange will be for Southeast bound traffic ONLY (towards Headington Roundabout and South Oxford). This will also be the diversion route for Northwest bound traffic.
