Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing to tell you that we plan to carry out work on the M40 at junction 11, to install new cables and renew current traffic equipment. Once complete, drivers will benefit from safer journeys.
We plan to complete this work over 8 weeks between Monday 6 February and Thursday 30 March. We will be working both weekdays and weeknights, weather conditions permitting.
Closures and diversions
To carry out the work safely, we will need to implement a number of lane closures and occasionally close the M40 between junctions 11 and 12, diverting traffic as detailed below:
- Monday 6 February to Monday 27 February – hard shoulder and lane 1 closure on junction 11 northbound entry slip road, working between the hours of 9:30am and 3:30pm.
- Monday 6 March to Monday 27 March – hard shoulder and lane 1 closure on southbound approach to junction 11 and on exit slip road, working between the hours of 9pm and 5am.
- Tuesday 28 March – M40 junction 11 to 12 northbound – full closure, working between the hours of 9pm and 5am.
Drivers travelling northbound on the M40 will exit at junction 11 and follow the A422, B4100, and B4451 to re-join the M40 at junction 12. (See diversion map).
- Wednesday 29 March – M40 junction 12 to 11 southbound – full closure, working between the hours of 9pm and 5am.
Drivers travelling southbound on the M40 will exit at junction 12 and follow the B4451, B4100 and A422 to re-join the M40 at junction 11. (See diversion map).
- Thursday 30 March – hard shoulder and lane 1 closure on junction 11 northbound entry slip road and southbound approach to junction 11 and exit slip road, working between the hours of 9pm and 5am.
