TheA415 is a BritishA road which runs from theA4074 atBerinsfield,Oxfordshire(51°39′33″N1°10′34″W / 51.6591°N 1.1762°W /51.6591; -1.1762 (A415 road (southeastern end))), toWitney(51°47′07″N1°29′47″W / 51.7852°N 1.4965°W /51.7852; -1.4965 (A415 road (northwestern end))), passing throughAbingdon,Marcham andKingston Bagpuize. It crosses theRiver Thames twice, atAbingdon Bridge andNewbridge.
When UK roads were first classified in 1922, the A415 started at a junction with theA4 just west ofMaidenhead inBerkshire.[1] It ran throughHenley-on-Thames andBenson toShillingford where it joined the thenA42. It left the A42 a mile west atDorchester. In the 1930s the section from Maidenhead to Shillingford became part of theA423. It is now part of theA4130 and the A4074.
In the 1980s, when the Dorchester Bypass was opened, the start of the A415 was switched to the western end of the bypass, at Berinsfield.
