Bicester Heritage has now got all the permissions in place to do the works on the A4421 as agreed in the planning permission for their Command Works development.
The works will start on 15 March and will include:
- the New Toucan crossing on Buckingham Rd (close to Skimmingdish Lane turning);
- a resurfaced carriageway either side of toucan crossing (to provide high friction anti-skid surface on crossing approach);
- new uncontrolled road crossing points at the roundabout from Bicester Motion across Buckingham Rd to The Garden Quarter and from Bicester Motion across Skimmingdish Lane to the Bicester side of road, and across the main entrance bell mouth;
- enhancements to street lighting, signage and carriageway drainage;
- new section of shared pedestrian footpath / cycleway to provide proper access to the bus stop and Toucan crossing on the Bicester Motion side of Buckingham Rd and the corner of Skimmingdish Lane.
The Strategic transport contributions that they are also making to OCC as part of these works will be used to upgrade the existing bus shelters and real time bus information displays and the cycle shelters adjacent to bus stops.
Bicester Heritage has provided an illustrated map of the works.
The works will take approximately 12 weeks.
