Roadworks Start In Witney

Construction News Image
Local residents in Witney are set to benefit from new infrastructure works aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the town centre, with construction now underway.

The Oxfordshire County Council project will introduce new west-facing slip roads at the Shores Green junction on the A40, allowing traffic from east and north-east Witney to bypass the town centre and the busy A40/Ducklington Lane junction.

Once completed, the new slip roads are expected to alleviate congestion on Bridge Street and throughout the town centre, making travel through Witney smoother and more efficient. The project will also include improvements to pedestrian and cycling facilities in the Shores Green area, enhancing safety and promoting more active travel options.

The scheme is set to be finished by spring 2026.
