There are several major road closures across Oxfordshire this week.

The majority of the delays will only cause a slight inconvience to drivers – with delays of 10 minutes – will some will result in 30 minute delays.

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