THE A40 at Wheatley has reopened.
The road was closed eastbound between the turnings for Wheatley and Stanton St John.
It caused delays stretching back several miles to the Green Road roundabout in Headington, Oxford.
A police spokesman said the closure was due to county council roadworks which were meant to be completed overnight but which had overrun.
