We are widening the A40 north of Oxford.A40

The scope includes the civil engineering associated with widening the carriageway. We are working to improve the drainage; and installing ducting. We are also widening the carriageway ready for resurfacing.

We are also constructing an off-site water treatment pond just north of the village of Wolvercote.

Client Skanska (now Milestone) commissioned VGC Projects to carry out works on the A40 on behalf of client Oxfordshire County Council. Their confidence in VGC Projects was based on the quality of our work on the M25 emergency refuge areas.
