Oddley Lane Saunderton closed due roadworks

Oddley Lane, Saunderton, to be closed temporarily due to urgent works, with drivers advised to use alternative routes and check traffic apps for updates.

Oddley Lane, a key route in the Buckinghamshire area, will be closed from 14:10 on 13 August 2026 until 14:10 on 17 August 2026, according to Buckinghamshire Council, the highway authority responsible for the area. The closure is in place for urgent roadworks, with the council prioritising the safety of drivers and the integrity of the road network. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes, such as the nearby A4 or A4130, to avoid any potential delays.

Buckinghamshire Council has made every effort to reduce the disruption caused by the roadworks, but drivers are still likely to face some inconvenience. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and websites for updates on road conditions and any changes to the planned closure. Journey times may be longer than usual, and drivers are urged to exercise patience and caution when navigating the area.

The location of the closure, near Saunderton, is about 10 miles north of Reading, making it a key route for commuters and locals. The closure will have a significant impact on traffic flow in the area, with drivers likely to face delays and congestion. However, the council's priority is to ensure the road is safe and fit for purpose, and the temporary closure will help to achieve this goal.

Motorists are advised to follow the official diversion route, which will be clearly signposted on the day of the closure. The diversion route is likely to take drivers through the nearby villages of Lane End and Turville, adding a few minutes to their journey time. However, the council has worked to ensure that the diversion is as straightforward as possible, with clear signage and minimal disruption.

The roadworks are part of a larger programme of maintenance and improvement works on the UK's road network.
