\nWork at Peachcroft Roundabout should be nearing completion this month. Some resurfacing work remains.<\/p>\n

The most significant change as a result of this work is the new, separate left-turn lane from Dunmore Road towards Lodge Hill, allowing traffic to bypass the roundabout. The other approaches have also been widened. It has taken a long time because of sewer connections underneath this area.
\n
\nThe work on the footpath and cycleway may take longer to complete. For the time being, there is a diversion through the Radley Reach estate.
\n
\nFurther up Lodge Hill, the new slip roads appear to have been constructed. Work is continuing on one of the two roundabouts.
\n
\nLooking up from the path towards Sunningwell, a new drainage ditch can be seen. Some trees have been protected during the construction work, including this lone oak.<\/p>\n

It should not be long now before the long-campaigned-for full interchange is complete and we see the results on the traffic around Abingdon.
\n
\nThe council’s Lodge Hill Interchange project page gives the remaining stages:<\/p>\n

Stage 5 (Autumn 2026)<\/p>\n

Construction of the western section of the southern roundabout continues.<\/p>\n

Construction of the A34 southbound on-slip takes place.<\/p>\n

Traffic will be predominantly free-flowing during this stage.<\/p>\n

Stage 6 (Winter 2026)<\/p>\n

Overnight closures of the A4183, between 8pm and 6am, for final resurfacing works.<\/p>\n

The new junction opens to traffic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
