A dual carriageway which connects two Oxfordshire villages is closed for roadworks this weekend.
The A44 dual carriageway through Yarnton and Begbroke, near Kidlington in Oxfordshire, is shut for the duration of this weekend, Saturday, May 16 and Sunday, May 17.
A traffic regulation notice was issued by Oxfordshire County Council announcing the road would be shut to all traffic between 4am and 6pm each day, in both directions.
The road works are to 'facilitate surface sealing works', according to the order.

This is a preventative road dressing designed to prevent moisture ingress and freeze-thaw damage, one of the things that causes potholes on Oxfordshire's roads, to preserve it.
The A44 closure is in place between Cassington Road and the roundabout with the A4095, Grove Road.
A suggested alternative route is via the A5096, the A4260 and A44 and vice versa to get around the road closure, though limited access will be maintained for emergency services and frontages in the closed road.
