Over the last couple of days, traffic congestion has been seen on Oxford Road, Radley Road, and The Vineyard in Abingdon. The bus stop at Our Lady’s Abingdon is also temporarily suspended. While one.network is typically a reliable source for roadworks information, none of these roads are listed. The delays are likely due to ongoing SGN (gas) mains work in The Holt, as the four way traffic lights also includes the Holt. In which case the works in the Holt are scheduled from January 27th at 11:00 AM to February 7th at 11:59 PM.
The works in The Holt have been to replace the now 60+ years old corroded somewhat leaky steel gas mains and the last bit is the connection of that work to the gas main in the Oxford Road.
