A fault associated with Mill Lift Bridge (Bridge 205) , near Lower Heyford, is causing a navigational closure. This is due to the bridge being jammed in the down position. Contractors are required to repair the bridge. They are expected to be on site Monday morning. This notice will be updated if their estimated time of arrival changes. Thank you for your patience.
