East West Rail – further HGV movements

There will be some additional HGV movements between the A1 Compound and the new Station Road bridge between Monday 20 February and Friday 28 April.

We have been assured that there will be a maximum of five movements per day and they will endeavour to avoid the peak times.

As you may have seen, EWR has provided one of their temporary Speed Indicator Devices just as you drive into the village from Bicester. We hope that this might help remind all drivers of the speed limit through the village.

As usual, any questions or concerns should go to publicinformation@ewralliance.co.uk or call the 24 hour helpline on 03457 11 41 41

Bicester Road – near the Glades

We are aware that the road is deteriorating with every car that drives over the damaged area just by the temporary pedestrian crossing and have reported the issue to the OCC Highway Steward.

Unfortunately the road surface can’t be repaired until Thames Water fix the underlying issue of the water leak as any repair would fail almost instantly. However, Thames Water is aware of the issue so we hope that it will be repaired very soon.
