This is both a drone and on the ground video showing current progress of the A418 Oxford Road, Aylesbury. There are only a couple of weeks to go before the new alignment is planned to open.

Thanks! Another informative video so thanks Karl. Not sure why we need 5 guys to guide the odd cyclist and dog walker. Perhaps we should give them deck chairs ! You cyclists have been lucky in that the illumination along the temporary cycle path has been good from what I have seen. Is there any sign of streetlights along the new road, even at the new railway bridge to assist you along the new cycle path ?
I said in the video that I was expecting the road to be currently closed but I got the dates mixed up – it's actually from 25th October 2024 – 4th November.
Thanks Karl interesting as always. I see today that they tested out the new railway line between Oxford and Milton Keynes Central, travelling through Winslow.
Thanks Karl. I’ve watched quite a few HS2 aerial view movies, but this with its commentary is far superior. Like the ground view too. Tempted to get out on my bike and have a look soon.

This is the best one yet Karl! Not long now!😎
Thank you for the update Karl, it is great to see the latest works
These videos will be a magnificent reference point in the future. Top work 👍
Well done. When finished it would nice to see a time lapse video of the development.

It was a Contingency Weekend closure only (18th-21st Oct)
The full week closure is 25th Oct to 4th Nov
Still looking like it’s YEARS AWAY from any trains running on it 🤣😂
