A section of the A355 in Beaconsfield has been shut to allow police to carry out an “investigation and reconstruction”.

As reported in the Bucks Free Press on Monday, the road closure comes weeks after a 19-year-old from High Wycombe was tragically killed on the road on Bank Holiday Monday.

In order to avoid delays, Transport for Bucks have advised people to follow the diversion via Candlemas Lane, Candlemas Mead and Ronald Road.

Although the road is set to be reopened before tonight’s rush hour, it is expected to be in operation at school pick-up time. It is estimated that it will reopen at 4pm.
