Drivers in and around Oxford are being warned about an A34 closure this week. 

The A34 will be closed from 8pm on Tuesday, November 19 until 6am on Wednesday, November 20.

Motorists have been notified that the closure will be in place in both directions between the Peartree and Botley interchanges. 

This will be for structures work to take place.

It is expected that the closure will result in moderate delays of 10 to 30 minutes for motorists.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.

It comes as a road closure was also in place at Botley on the A34 slip road and northbound lanes overnight on Monday into Tuesday last week for maintenance work.
