Description:	Early 1990s proposals to upgrade the A40 between Oxford and Witney to dual carriageway along with bypasses for the roundabouts north of Oxford. This consisted of three separated schemes. These are Witney to Cassington (top map), North of Oxford (bottom map west of Marston) and Headington Bypass (bottom map east of Marston). North of Oxford and Headington were withdrawn from the roads programme in 1994 and Witney to Cassington lingered on until 1996 when the orders for this scheme were withdrawn. There is uncertainly as to the existing westbound exit slip at Marston, shown uncoloured on the map. Someone decided to print the title of the scheme over this part of the junction which hides it from view. The merge of the existing and new westbound A40 immediately to the east of this slip road would create some terrible weaving if the slip road remains open. Furthermore traffic on the existing A40 can use the roundabout on the north side of the junction to complete this movement if the slip road is closed. Until a map is available showing the junction completely unobscured I will leave it in place.
