Lodge Hill A34 Slipways Taking Shape


Crossing the footbridge on the footpath from Abingdon towards Sunningwell and Bayworth, there is a view along the A34 towards the new south-facing slipways at Lodge Hill. The works continue to shape what were fields and woodland.

The new offslip has involves wide earthworks on the field.

From the bridge, the southbound onslip joining the A34 is visible but not much else.

A further view from the footpath towards Bayworth shows more of the work taking place.

Up on Lodge Hill, both northbound slipways are open again, but the route of the Oxford Road through the two new roundabouts continues to shift as parts are closed and opened.

    Thanks for the update pictures.
    I forsee problems with that southbound on-slip. Being on a curve there must be no suggestion of tress/bushes/foliage/signage to hinder visibility for either flow of traffic. Already many arrogant slip lane drivers assume that they are in charge despite their current requirement to give way !
    Wouldn’t it be a good idea for the Highway Code to adopt the German practice where vehicles seeing a joining vehicle are required to move to the outside lane “Must,” not “Should” ?
