UK Road Closed: National Highways

A section of National Highways' Strategic Road Network is set to be closed from 06:00 on 09 August 2026 to 22:59 on 11 August 2026. This will impact drivers on an unknown road, located near Oxford, with the nearest city being Oxford.

The highway authority behind the closure is National Highways, with their Transport Data Feeds powering the information. The severity of the disruption is classed as high. For those planning to travel through the area, it is essential to be aware of the closure and plan accordingly.

During this time, drivers will be unable to use the affected portion of the road. National Highways advises motorists to use alternative routes to avoid the area. This may add extra time to journeys, so drivers are recommended to check for updates regularly and consider checking traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for the latest information.

As the closure duration is significant, spanning over three days, drivers are urged to check the latest updates from the National Highways Transport Data Feeds before embarking on their journeys. Furthermore, using satnav systems or mapping apps can help identify the best alternative routes, minimising any disruption to travel schedules.

For those who need to travel through the area, National Highways suggests leaving extra time to account for potential delays. The authority will be working hard to ensure the works are completed as quickly and safely as possible, but drivers should still be prepared for possible disruptions.

In the event of an emergency, drivers can contact the National Highways Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 5000 for the latest information and advice.
