The road ahead is now blocked, so we must multiplex with that road briefly before heading right at the next roundabout into Faringdon itself.
The A417 continues out of Faringdon and past Buscot House, then over the Thames at St John's Bridge to enter Gloucestershire before reaching Lechlade, where it meets the A361 in the centre of the village.
The reason it is almost conventional is because immediately north of the motorway, the A417 turns sharp left, and we meet the eastbound off-slip a hundred yards or so away from the bridge.

It is promoting `intelligent` direct action, not just bulldozer protests but also moves to influence road schemes at all stages of the planning process, in town halls and public meetings as well as on the ground.
Road Block claims there are around 200 proposed or planned road schemes countrywide forming a roads programme to rival the Conservatives’ ‘Roman-style’ programme of the early 1990s, which resulted in clashes with protesters at Twyford Down and Newbury.

At this point, as on the other side of the Churn valley, the A417 is in a cutting, to reduce the gradient down to the Churn bridge, and to reduce the height of that bridge.
On each side of the road, on both sides of the bridge, the Jurassic limestone is cut into steps, to improve the appearance of the cutting, and to provide footholds for the growth of vegetation, as the second picture shows.
