Last weekend, National Highways was forced to cancel the planned closure, as thunderstorms were planned and dry weather is required to carry out the closure.

The previous closures have caused traffic chaos in Wolvercote.

A fully signed diversion will be in place via Eastern Bypass Road, A40 and A44, between the Peartree and Hinksey Hill interchanges.
