Seven-week construction announced on Bicester Road in Aylesbury in full list of Bucks works planned next week

The A41 on Bicester Road and the Bicester Road/Jackson Road/Dickens Way junction will be worked on in Aylesbury next week, the council confirms.

Bicester Road which has been closed all week, will still be worked on next week.

The closure of this road is one of several emergency works which has led to severe delays across town in the past fortnight.

Emergency works beginning on certain roads, just as schools reopened, has caused chaos and hour-long delays at peak times for motorists in Aylesbury.

Maintenance planned on the A41 means a two-way traffic flow will be in place and certain parts of the road will be coned off.

At the junction a temporary roundabout will be erected and drivers will have to navigate a single lane system.

Footway closures and diversion routes will also be used in the next seven weeks at the junction.

From Monday 20 September, construction will start at the Bicester Road/Jackson Road/Dickens Way junction and will involve lane closures on the approach to the junction, with all approaches to the junction being a single lane. There will also be footway closures, with appropriate diversion routes.
