Oxford Road 4 Corridor Study Oxford Road 4 Study Area Map In conjunction with the Transportation Master Plan, a specific corridor study of Oxford Road 4, which includes analysis on a portion of Oxford Road 60, is being undertaken: • Oxford Road 4 and 60 are important arterial roads connecting the Highway 401/403 corridors and the north portion of Oxford County through the City of Woodstock. • With development along the corridor expected to increase, the County is planning for the future of the corridor. This study is examining the current road and intersection conditions and performance, active transportation facilities, and collision history in the study area to identify opportunities for improvement and better facilitate movement of vehicles to the north without passing through the City of Woodstock.
