    The effect of the Order is to temporarily prohibit any vehicle proceeding or

    and Kencot and the unnamed road from the B4477 junction to the B4020
    junction (Alvescot triangle).
    Appropriate traffic signs will be displayed to indicate when the measures are
    in force.
    Exemptions are included for police, fire and ambulance services and for the
    works and for access to premises which are only accessible from the closed
    section of road.
    The alternative route for traffic will be signed via Filkins, Burford and Carterton
    and vice versa. .
    This Order will remain in force for a maximum period of 18 months or until the
    works have been completed whichever is the sooner.
