Kidlington Footpath Closed

A section of footpath will be closed in front of 39-43 Chorefields in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, due to minor roadworks. The work, undertaken by Oxfordshire County Council, is expected to cause medium disruption. The footpath will be closed from 06:00 on 08 August 2026 to 16:00 on 10 August 2026. Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes to avoid any delays.

The footpath closure is part of ongoing maintenance work in the area. Although the work is minor, it is expected to cause some disruption, and drivers are being advised to check traffic apps and websites for the latest updates before embarking on their journeys. Those using the A40 or other nearby major roads are likely to be most affected by the closure.

For those who rely on the footpath, there will be limited access during the closure period. Motorists and pedestrians are urged to exercise caution and follow all signs and directions provided by the highway authority.

Oxfordshire County Council is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the road network in the area. The authority has confirmed that the work is necessary to ensure the safety and durability of the footpath. However, the council understands the inconvenience that the closure may cause and is working to complete the work as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The A40 and other major roads in the area are likely to be busy during the school summer holidays, and the footpath closure may exacerbate congestion. Drivers are advised to check traffic apps and websites regularly for updates on traffic conditions before setting out on their journeys. Those who can, are also advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes to avoid any delays.

The footpath closure is scheduled to end on 10 August 2026, at 16:00. Once the work is complete, the footpath will be reopened, and access will be restored.
