A417 Closure Coming Up

I wish to remind residents that the closure of the A417 towards Faringdon is taking place this week on 6th September, so motorists need to plan their journeys well in advance.  I have reported on this here. This is to allow Network Rail to undertake the  work at Challow Bridge to enable the electrification project to go ahead.  You can read the county press release here

There is also a planned drop-in session on Thursday 2nd October at the Old Mill Hall in Grove from 4 - 7pm for residents to ask questions and see the work planned for the A338 bridge next to The Volunteer.   Preparatory  work is going ahead in November with the minimum of closures as already reported in my blog post here with the work to be completed in the summer of next year.
