Where the red paint is in the road is where the railway bridge used to be, demolished in the 1960s, and the A40 came under it and through the village.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The staggered junction of the A 40 with the A436. The A40 road has come from Oxford and runs straight ahead to Cheltenham. The turn on the left is the A436 to Kilkenny and Gloucester. The turn to the right at the traffic lights is the A436 to the Fosse Way A429 at Burton-on-the-Water.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Station Road in Andoversford was part of the route of the A40. When the Banbury to Cheltenham Direct railway was dismantled, a new stretch of dual carriageway was able to be created for the A40 when the railway embankment was destroyed. The footpath goes from Station Road, via the side of this factory building, to the A40. The footpath sign seems to indicate that the path goes through the building rather than round it.
