Bucks Council announces full list of planned roadworks including HS2 project closing key A-road

Each week the authority announces the roads and streets it is working on as part of its commitment to improving travel locally.

This does not include projects overseen by utility companies, meaning the major ongoing works in New Street is not included. Delays are likely on the key road by Aylesbury town centre and traffic on diverted routes is expected to increase.

However, the council has included details of roadworks being carried out as part of the HS2 project.

HS2 Ltd is closing the A413 to move its 4,500 tonne viaduct deck in place to complete its bridge across the road and the railway line near Wendover. This will take place between 31 January and 1 February, Hs2 Ltd says that Chiltern Railways trains between Aylesbury and Great Missenden will not be running on those dates.
