FOUR weeks of roadworks will start tonight on the A34.

Resurfacing works between the Peartree Interchange and junction 9 of the M40 will close the northbound carriageway overnight.

The closures will affect the road between the hours of 9pm and 6am.

Highways England will be carrying out the works and expects they will last for four weeks.

There will be no work at weekends.

A signed diversion will direct drivers via Enslow and Kirtlington or along the M40.
