Thanks to Annabel for letting us know the following …
There will be resurfacing work starting tomorrow (19th September) round the A415 the other side of the Marcham Interchange.
For two weeks an unnamed road will be closed day and night. It is first right off the Marcham Road soon after the A34 up to the junction with Barrow Road (for Shippon).
There will also be some overnight closures of more major roads while the resurfacing equipment is in the area. The A34 northbound slipway will be closed overnight for a week, and then the Marcham Road will be closed for 4 evenings and overnight.
It needs doing, but two weeks seems a long time for a resurfacing job when the longer stretch along the A415 to Marcham will be competed in four nights.
I left for work this morning at 07.20 and the Drayton Road was gridlocked, I couldn’t get off the Ladygrove Estate. Was this down to the roadworks over running already?
Why does the new Morland Gardens development have mini-traffic lights that seem to stop traffic randomly? I’ve seen several near-misses where cars slam their brakes on at the last minute. Also, seems an inspiring bit of planning to put new bus stops on the Drayton Road, that will certainly help with traffic flow.
Ah, I wish I had read this earlier before I tried to go that way. Busier than usual on Spring Road this evening so I expect it is because there is no alterative route to the Marcham interchange.
Perhaps one day the mini-roundabout and surrounding area at the top of Bath Street could be resurfaced. It’s appalling and has been for years.
It looks as those the entrance to the T junction is being completely rebuilt; certainly, new verge edgings are being put in.
Sorry: type – It looks as though….
