Bucks Council releases full list of weekly roadworks after previous traffic chaos

The full list for the week starting today (22 July), includes two Aylesbury projects. Last week the town was in disarray, as dueling roadworks on all the main routes in and out of town led to severe delays.

Sub 10-mile journeys took some motorists close to two hours to complete during the worst periods of gridlock.

Bucks Council’s full list of works does not include works undertaken by utility companies. This means ongoing Thames Water works on the A418 at Bierton, and the ESP Electricity Ltd works on Wendover Road in Aylesbury, are not included.

Also, some works are subject to change at short notice. Here is the council’s full list:
