A BUSY section of Oxford’s ring road is set to close for a week for Oxfordshire County Council works.

The works for resurfacing will see a carriageway shut at the eastern bypass near to the Heyford Hill roundabout for the Sainsbury’s superstore.

The work which starts on Wednesday night is expected to be completed the following week on August 1.

Works will take place overnight and the road closures will be in effect between 8pm and 6am everyday.

Drivers are warned to expect disruption.
