Drivers face major delays on A420 as roadworks begin
By Swindon Now Editorial Team · Published
Motorists travelling between Swindon and Oxfordshire are experiencing significant congestion following the start of new roadworks on the A420.
Drivers using the A420 are being advised to plan their journeys carefully and consider alternative routes following the start of new construction works today. The project has caused severe congestion for traffic heading into Swindon, with reports of vehicles brought to a virtual standstill during the morning commute.
The disruption is linked to construction activity that commenced early this morning. While the specific nature of the work has not been detailed, the impact on the capacity of the road is significant, leading to extremely slow-moving traffic for those travelling between Swindon and neighbouring Oxfordshire.
Commuters who regularly rely on this route are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys or to seek out different paths to avoid the worst of the congestion. Local transport authorities and traffic management teams will likely be monitoring the situation as the works progress.
