Works have commenced at the Oxford Road roundabout in Abingdon. The work is scheduled to be completed in autumn 2024.

The works will involve:

• Dedicated left slip road from Dunmore Road onto Oxford Road
• Sewers
• Lights

Traffic management and lights will be in place from February to July 2024. Information is available on the project website: https://s278.biz/page42.html.

Oxfordshire County Council is currently considering the Lodge Hill A34 Interchange plans, following a second round of consultation. A decision on the plans is expected soon.

Oxfordshire County Council is currently undertaking resurfacing work in Abingdon. They completely resurfaced Stert Street, which was last resurfaced in 2007 as part of the Abits project. Contractors are also resurfacing parts of Marcham Road and Colwell Drive.

Bridge repairers have returned to finish off the work they could not complete last December. Their repair work last year allowed the bridge to be reopened after having restrictions from May 2021 to November 2022.

Signs suggest the single lane restrictions are temporary this time and the work will be completed before Easter, just 9 working days.

Work will begin on strengthening the first arch of Abingdon Bridge in late March. A notice has gone up in the Thames Street car park to say no parking from 20th March to 27th April.

The bridge was reduced to a single lane with traffic lights from May 2021 to November 2022 to protect the arch and allow exploratory work. I would expect the traffic lights to return during the repair work.
