Horse and Jockey junction: Good progress as Weedon Road is set to close
The Horse and Jockey junction exit onto Elmhurst Road will reopen a week earlier than planned.
On February 15, Bucks County Council will move the road closure to the opposite site meaning that Weedon Road will be closed for an estimated five weeks.
When the works first started there was traffic chaos with people claiming it took three hours to get into town along the A413 from Buckingham.
The junction was changed from a roundabout to traffic lights to prepare it for new houses at Weedon Hill.
Since then there have been problems at the junction and it has taken until now for those issues to be resolved.
Road workers are expected to finish the works by March 19 and there will be monitoring of the traffic lights to try and alleviate any congestion.
Brian Roberts, Buckinghamshire County Council spokesman for transportation, said: "We want to give residents and motorists as much notice as possible about these essential improvement works, and we apologise for any delays caused as a result.
"We really appreciate their patience and cooperation and we're pulling out all the stops to get these works completed ahead of schedule.
"I'm optimistic that we can open the road earlier than planned."
Do you think that Bucks County Council can do enough to prevent repeat scenes of the chaos that was seen last time?
