OXFORD'S motorists will have a road closure to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But the news isn't too bad, as it is only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure is due to start over the next two weeks:

  • A34, from 8pm, August 28 to 6am, August 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes)A34 northbound, Peartree to Islip, Lane closures for technology work (under 10 minutes)

It is unknown what the works are for.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
