Abingdon roundabout to close for two weeks of resurfacing
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 16:50 · Archive
The Peachcroft Roundabout in Abingdon will close overnight from 29 October to 12 November for resurfacing work.
The Peachcroft Roundabout in Abingdon will close overnight for two weeks from 29 October to 12 November. Dunmore Road and Twelve Acre Drive will be shut between 8pm and 6am each night while highway workmen resurface the roundabout. The resurfacing signals near completion of underground infrastructure installation and highway layout upgrades linked to North Abingdon housing developments.
Buses using the X15 or NX15 routes will divert via Oxford Road and Northcourt Road during the closures, according to Abingdon North councillor Nathan Ley. This means no buses will stop at Alexander Close, Bailey Crescent, Langley Road, Parsons Mead or Beverley Close during closure hours; passengers should use the Peachcroft or Abingdon College stops instead. Daytime traffic and buses will run as normal.
The work includes a new segregated left-turn lane from Dunmore Road to bypass the roundabout, widened approaches, adjusted traffic islands, pedestrian crossing updates and new cycle links. These operations run alongside nearby upgrades at the A34 Lodge Hill junction, managed by Oxfordshire County Council, which are expected to be completed this winter. Tarmac has already been laid for the slip roads onto and exiting the A34.
