An accident blackspot roundabout is set to close overnight for a week next month while anti-skid surfacing is put in place. 

The Pyebush roundabout in Beaconsfield is a major junction that joins the A40 with the A355, which then leads onto the M40. 

It is expected to be closed overnight from 8pm until 6am between June 9 and 12. 

It will reopen at 6am each day, just in time for rush-hour. 

Emergency services will be allowed through the closure, but buses will have to divert. 

 

There have been a string of crashes at the roundabout in the past, including two fatal motorbike crashes in the space of just four months. 

Rafał Barański was killed when he crashed his motorbike into a barrier at the Pyebush roundabout on Friday, December 3, 2021.

And Sam Goodwin, 28 and from Denham, died in hospital days after he suffered serious injuries in a motorcycle accident on the Pyebush roundabout on Saturday, April 9. 

Devastated loved ones of both young men left heartbreaking tributes to the pair at the time of the deaths. 

According to crashmap.co.uk, there have also been a number of other incidents at the roundabout over the years - at least nine categorised as 'slight' and one 'serious'. 

According to roadmarkingservices.co.uk, anti-skid surfacing - also called high friction surfacing - provides roads with "high levels of skid resistance, working to improve safety in areas where collisions between vehicles – or between vehicles and pedestrians – are common or at a greater risk of happening".
