Bartley: Oakfield Rd Closed

Oakfield Road in Bartley will be closed from 06:30 on August 13, 2026, until 17:00 on August 14, 2026, as Hampshire County Council carries out major works. The closure is expected to cause some disruption to traffic in the area, with drivers advised to use alternative routes to avoid delays. Oakfield Road is a key route connecting to several nearby towns and villages, including those in the Southampton area.

Motorists are urged to check traffic apps and websites for updates on road conditions before embarking on their journeys, as the closure is likely to cause congestion in the surrounding area. Alternative routes may be longer, but they can help drivers avoid the disruption and reach their destinations on time. It is essential to plan ahead and factor in extra time for travel.

The closure is expected to have a medium impact on traffic, with drivers likely to experience delays of up to 30 minutes. However, the exact impact may vary depending on the time of day and the volume of traffic. Hampshire County Council is working hard to minimise the disruption and ensure that the works are completed as quickly and safely as possible.

The works are part of an ongoing programme to improve the county's road network, and Hampshire County Council is committed to maintaining and improving the roads that serve the local community. While the closure may cause some inconvenience, it is essential for the long-term benefit of the area.

Residents and businesses in the area are advised to be aware of the closure and plan their travel accordingly. If you need to travel through the area, please check for updates before you set out and consider using alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or cycling.
