LANE closures due to roadworks on the southern bypass could cause significant delays to motorists from the end of this week.

The works, which are due to start on Friday, will see Oxfordshire County Council carry out re-waterproofing to the central reserve and verges between the Kennington roundabout and the A34 roundabout.

There will be lane closures in both directions during off-peak times with a 40mph speed restriction in place.

The works are expect to last up to three weeks.
