Buckinghamshire Highways have now discovered a disused drainage channel nearly two metres beneath the A413 near Bubbles Car Wash, Little Missenden, during investigations into a sinkhole.
This unexpected find means we need to carry out essential repairs.
To do this safely, the A413 will be closed in this area from 6am Saturday 5 July to 6am Monday 7 July. Diversions will be in place.
They are working closely with utility companies already operating nearby to coordinate efforts and minimise disruption. However, they strongly advise motorists to avoid the area over the weekend if possible.
