Three Aylesbury routes included in full council list of roadworks scheduled this week

Three roads in Aylesbury have been included in the list of works planned by the council this week.

Edward Close from Dalesford up to Diane Walk is the subject of path improvements starting today (11 September) until next Friday (22 September).

During this period the footway will be closed.

Great Western Street will remain closed overnight this week, so that the street lighting by the road can be improved. Work began last Monday, and is scheduled to be completed next Thursday.

A safety barrier is being repaired on the Aston Clinton Bypass affecting traffic towards Aylesbury.

Until work is completed a lane closure will be used between 9:30am and 3:30pm.

Bucks Council estimates that over 20,000 road repairs have been carried out since the start of April.

The local authority uses 15 teams working on road repairs who deal with potholes, some work some round the clock, seven days a week.

Bucks Council has committed £105 million to road improvements over a four-year period.

Some works are weather-dependent and subject to change at short notice. Bucks Council’s list of roadworks for the county does not include closures initiated by Thames Water or emergency road closures.

These dates may also be subject to change depending on the availability of materials and unforeseen circumstances out of our control, the council adds.

Press Release from Buckinghamshire Council

Weekly roadworks update

​

We continue to make big progress on road repairs across Buckinghamshire to the extent where we have now completed around 20,000 road repairs since our new Buckinghamshire Highways contract began on 1 April. These repairs, which are on top of our annual resurfacing programme, demonstrate the impact the very harsh conditions that last winter had on our road network.

We have 15 teams working on road repairs, including potholes, some round the clock, seven days a week. Alongside this we continue to roll out our programme of bigger improvement works, with over 200 larger resurfacing, drainage and road safety projects on specific sections of the highways.

As part of Buckinghamshire Council’s £105m investment in roads across the county over four years, work is taking place at the following locations through Buckinghamshire Highways' Strategic Highway Maintenance Programme.

The works are part of a rolling programme of countywide work and some activities are extremely weather dependent, therefore dates shown are subject to change at short notice. These dates may also be subject to change depending on the availability of materials and unforeseen circumstances out of our control. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
