Drivers are reminded to keep an eye on what M4 road closures that are planned this week as work continues on the major highway. 

These road closures will affect people travelling all across Berkshire, but in particular around Reading and Slough.

However, since the end of the weekend roadworks on Burghfield Bridge, Reading has seen an improvement in travel times and traffic on the M4.

With that in mind, here are the latest updates on M4 closures that will take place this coming week across Berkshire: 

Reading

Road works are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M4, from 8pm July 17 2023 to 6am August 8 2024, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M4 eastbound, junction 11 to junction 8/9, Lane closures for major improvement work.

 

Slough

Slough's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of under 10 minutes.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M4, from 8pm July 8 to 6am August 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M4 westbound, junction 6, slip road and lane closures for resurfacing work.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:
