Traffic has been building up around Oxford this morning as roadworks continue.

Roadworks brought the city to a standstill on Monday, and journeys into work were also slow yesterday.

Traffic is slow this morning on the southbound A34 between Botley and the Hinksey Hill interchanges, on the A420 approaching the Botley interchange, on Woodstock Road, Oxford, Hythe Bridge Street in the city centre and on the A40 near Cassington.

A broken-down lorry on the A34 at the Botley interchange added to delays for drivers but the vehicle has now been removed.

Stagecoach has tweeted to say heavy traffic on the A40 delaying services. It has said there are delays on the S1 and S2 services.
