Thames Travel has stated via Twitter that the road is expected to remain closed until after the morning peak tomorrow (Monday, January 8).
During the closure, the provider's X2 and X32 services will still be diverting via Rose Hill and Iffley Rd today.
The road was closed yesterday after flood water spread. Fire crews from Banbury and Oxford joined forces, with a high volume pump team working to clear excess water from the road's surface throughout the day and night.
