Asked by Olly GloverLiberal DemocratDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 10 March 2026UIN 117050

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what further safety improvements are planned for the A34 beyond those currently underway; and what the planned timetable is for the completion of current works.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

National Highways is currently undertaking a renewal of the road markings on the A34 from Chieveley to the M40, which is due to be completed by 18 March. It is undertaking studies into the safety performance of slip roads accessing the A34 from the communities of East Ilsley and Beedon, and this work is due to conclude later in the spring. It is also reviewing the access from Chieveley, and looking into options for flood reduction at East Ilsley.
