The planned closure of a section of the A34 in Oxford will no longer go ahead this weekend. 

The northbound section of the road between Botley and Peartree - which would have been closed from 9pm on Friday to 6am on Monday - will remain open.

This would have been the fourth weekend of closures while National Highways continue re-waterproofing and making repairs to Wolvercote Viaduct.

The previous closures have caused traffic chaos in Wolvercote.

A National Highways statement said: "We need dry weather to carry out the waterproofing work we have been doing.

"We hope to complete the remaining waterproofing and surfacing works before 26 June.

"This may involve a further weekend closure but we will let people know in advance when that's likely to be. We may also still need another single night time closure to complete the road-marking works."
