Resurfacing of the A420/A338 Rbt at Tubney
OCC has programmed to complete full width resurfacing of the A420/A338 Rbt at Tubney over x2 consecutive overnight full road closures, following which they will reinstate all legal and existing road markings.
- Thursday 21st August – Works btw A415 Kingston Bagpuize Rbt & A338 Rbt.
No Access from Appleton village to A420 via Oaksmere.
No Access from Tubney village to A420 via Old Coach Road.
Residential access only permitted between Kingston Bagpuize Rbt and Abingdon Road junction to access villages of Fyfield and Tubney.
- Friday 22nd August – Works btw A338 Rbt & Cumnor Interchange.
No Access from Eaton or Besselsleigh village toA420 via ‘The Greyhound’ PH junction.
No Access from either of the two Besselsleigh Road access points to A420.
Isolated residential access only permitted between Cumnor Interchange and Rowleigh Lane.
This is purely a maintenance scheme so currently everything will be reinstated ‘like for like’.
A fully signed diversion will be installed routing traffic around the closure during the working hours, which has to keep to the same A’Rd classification thus suitable for strategic HGV traffic.
Letters will also be sent to all affected residents and businesses with direct access of the A420, advising of dates, times and phasing and will be timed to arrive two weeks prior to starting on site, which is also when the advance warning signs will be installed. OCC’s contractor will also be installing x4 more strategic VMS signs further afield, again 2 weeks prior, to pick up long distance haulage routing. No bus services will be allowed through the closure during the working hours and this has been agreed with the relevant bus companies already.
