A34 near Abingdon re-opened after bus and lorry crash

National Highways were forced to close the dual carriageway northbound near Abingdon after a collision took place.[1] In explaining the road closures, National Highways said that the crash had left behind a large amount of spilled fuel and this had damaged the road surface. The #A34[3] northbound between the #A4130[4] (#Didcot[5]) and the #A415[6] (#Abingdon[7]) is now fully open folowing the emergency resurfacing.

The A34 was subsequently closed between the A4130, Didcot, and the A415, Abingdon[10], to allow for the emergency resurfacing works to take place throughout the night.

This morning, National Highways announced this stretch of road had re-opened and the public was thanked for their patience.
