Statement from HS2 Team:
Notice of road closure A418 Oxford Road
Throughout 2023, preparations for the permanent realignment of the A418 Oxford Road have been progressing. The realignment of this road will carry traffic over the HS2 line on the new A418 Overbridge currently under construction.
There will be a further closure on the A418 Oxford Road in November to install a new electricity cable under the road between the Coldharbour Way roundabout and Meadoway, extending a short distance beyond the Meadoway junction.
To complete these works as promptly as possible we have been granted consent to work 24 hours a day during this period.
We will also be carrying out maintenance on a wooded area along the northern side of the A418 Oxford Road. This will involve the removal of overhanging branches near the road and footpath and the limited removal of some trees where necessary for safety reasons. This work will be done during daytime working hours only.
Residents access to Meadoway will be maintained via Sedrup Lane during this period. Every effort will be made to complete these works over a single weekend, however if this is not possible there will be a second weekend closure to complete the works, as detailed below.
When will these works take place?
Utility works will be carried out from Friday 17 November 8:30pm until 5:30am Monday 20 November 2023.
Utility works will continue if necessary from Friday 1 December 8:30pm until 5:30am Monday 4 December 2023
Woodland maintenance works will be carried out Saturday 18 to Sunday 19 November between 8am and 6pm.
Woodland maintenance will continue if necessary from Friday 1 December 8:30pm until 5:30am Monday 4 December 2023.
These works have been scheduled to take place over the weekend to cause minimum disruption to road users.
