OXFORD's motorists will have a road closure to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

However the closure is only expected to cause slight delays of under 10 minutes in total.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week.

The closure is on A34, which start on August 1 this year and is expected to finish on September 30 next year.

It is on the A34 northbound and southbound by the Peartree Interchange. Lane closures are on the exit slips for Oxfordshire County Council works.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
