B4437

Having a 7.5 tonne limit on the bridge is no bad thing, but why is it needed? Was the bridge rebuilt to an inferior standard after the 2007 floods?

Well done John H - but I don't think it will ever change until someone from the Town council starts the ball rolling here and take it seriously - I have posted at least 4 times on this subject - perhaps a " new topic " needs starting at least to record the fact - then, when the bridge is closed or it has collapsed it may get a bit more attention - the consequences of the bridge being closed really need thinking about -

Came back along the B4437 this evening about 4.45 pm. No problem apart from a couple of plastic things blocking off half the road. Difficult to see what they are doing but there is a mini digger there and chunks taken out of the verges on the side. Culverts? I hope it's all over by Friday. More information from OCC would be helpful. At least I didn't encounter any HGVs removing stuff from Wilderness. Don't know which route they are taking.

If you come from witney, there's a sign at the junction saying the Woodstock rd is closed, there's none on the charlbury side. Guess they forgot to put a sign out

There were no diversion signs earlier - I don't know if there are now. Also, anyone trying to go Fawler/Stonesfield will have the pleasure of sharing the roads/lanes with Wilderness HGVs.

Yes Christine it is. A colleague got half way along it and then had to turn back.

Does anyone know if the road to Woodstock is closed today?

Thanks Stephen. I think I'll go Fawler/Stonesfield.

I have to leave early on the 9th, so I made a call this morning. I was told the A44 will be accessible from Charlbury by travelling via Falwer to Stonefield and then onto the Blenheim gate. Enstone is always another more straightforward option.

It just says that section 'closed for multiple items near this location' on the map in oxfordshire.roadworks.org/ also says closed all time during that period. Mind you quite often they say that but then change their minds I suppose it depends how well they get on with job.

Does anyone know why this road is being closed again? I think it is from 9 August for 5 days. Will it be completely closed? Will we have to access the A44 via the Enstone Road? Thanks.
