Appleford public right of way to the north of the B4016
Temporary Closure and Diverting the Appleford public right of way to the north of the B4016.
Published: 24 February 2026
As part of our ongoing construction works for the Didcot to Culham River Crossing, we will be temporarily closing and diverting the Appleford public right of way to the north of the B4016.
This closure is necessary to facilitate drainage works, earthworks, and highway construction, and to ensure the safety of both the public and the workforce.
The closure will commence on Friday 6 March for a duration of approximately 18 months. A fully signed diversion route will be in place for the duration of the closure.
A drawing showing the diversion route is provided above.
