A vital highway connection is scheduled to be shut for a period exceeding seven months.

The affected section spans the road connecting the A420 to Coxwell Road in the vicinity of Great Coxwell.

The closure has been put in place to facilitate road widening work and the establishment of a fresh signalised intersection.

Operating around the clock, the shutdown commences on September 7, 2026, with an anticipated completion date of April 16, 2027.

A diversionary path will be clearly indicated for motorists, directing traffic along the A420, London Street, Coxwell Street, and Coxwell Road.

The regulation has been implemented by Oxfordshire County Council pursuant to the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, with provision allowing the order to persist for a maximum duration of 18 months should circumstances require it.

Emergency service vehicles have been granted dispensation from the restrictions.

Additionally, informational signage will be positioned to inform road users of the shutdown arrangements.
