A4095 set for 40mph limit as Oxford road closures announced

Published on

Oxfordshire County Council has announced changes to speed limits and temporary traffic restrictions across the county.

The A4095 Main Road between Bladon and Long Hanborough, near Witney, will move to a 40mph limit from 2 November.

The revised restriction will replace the existing 50mph limit and cancel speed limit orders introduced in 2023 and 2025.

Details of the orders are available online, while hard copies can be requested from the council.

Catte Street in Oxford is also scheduled for temporary closures on 8 and 9 November, followed by further closures on 15 and 16 November.

The restrictions will enable E W Beard Ltd to lift statues onto the roof of the Clarendon Building.

The work has been authorised under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and is expected to finish by 16 November.

Some disruption is anticipated during the closure periods, although emergency vehicles and properties within the closed section will retain access where possible.

Oxfordshire County Council has stated that Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders may remain in force for as long as 18 months.

A shorter maximum period of six months applies to certain routes for pedestrians, horses and pedal cycles, as well as byways that are open to all traffic.

Further information is available from the Traffic Regulations Team at County Hall on 0345 310 1111.

The council’s Public Notice Portal also contains details of the notices.
