Council announces five roadworks sites in Aylesbury not including major gas mains project

Each week the council releases its list of road improvement projects taking place on roads and pavements across the county.

This list does not include emergency works led by utility companies, such as the major ongoing project on New Street in Aylesbury. This four-month gas pipe removal scheme is run by SGN contractors rather than the council’s roads teams.

Other similar works overseen by Thames Water are not included in the council’s list.

Council and HS2 overlapping works at Aylesbury Road, Wendover

HS2 A413 Wendover Road Bypass

HS2 Ltd is closing the Wendover Bypass this weekend from Saturday 12 October at 8:30am to Monday 14 October at 5:30am. This is a 24-hour closure between the roundabout with Nash Lee Road and the roundabout with Wendover Road. The council has escalated the issue to HS2 and requested that the Wendover Bypass closure be rescheduled. HS2 has told the council that they are unable to reprogramme its works due to other planned works on the network and the resulting impact on its programme. A council spokesperson said: “Unfortunately, the terms of the HS2 Act mean HS2 only have to give us three days notice of closures within the Act limits, so we have been unable to give residents more notice of this work.”

Buckinghamshire Council Plane and Patch works

The Council is currently carrying out Plane and Patch works on Aylesbury Road, Wendover, under a road closure between the hours of 8pm -6am. These works were originally scheduled to have been completed on the morning of Saturday 12 October. As a result of very wet weather conditions, the works were delayed and are now scheduled to finish on the morning of Sunday 13 October. The final aspects of the works will therefore overlap with HS2's closure of the Wendover Road Bypass between 8pm on Saturday 12 October to 6am Sunday 13 October. A council spokesperson said: “It is not possible to delay these works, as they have already started and it would not be safe to leave this partially complete for a prolonged period of time.”
