A422 Farthinghoe Traffic Mitigation Scheme

The opportunity of delivering a bypass around Farthinghoe has been studied over many years with significant investment provided in developing a business case for funding. That business case shows the economic case for such a scheme is low and therefore funding from government for such a scheme is highly unlikely. 

As a Council we have always acknowledged that as well as the number of vehicles going through the village, the pinch point where large vehicles have collided on a number of occasions does need to be resolved. 

Work is continuing which will identify a preferred option for a mitigation scheme, and depending on what this is, it's expected costs and funding sources will determine whether it is deliverable by 2030.  

This page will be updated as the scheme progresses.
