Get ready for some major overnight disruptions on a key route! The A329(M) Bracknell-Reading and its M4 slip road are about to undergo essential repairs and a much-needed litter pick.
Starting from 8 PM on Sunday, a section of the A329(M) will be closed between Coppid Beech and the M4 junction 10 slip road until 6 AM on Monday. This closure is to ensure a thorough litter pick and essential maintenance. But here's where it gets controversial... National Highways will then focus on safety barrier repairs, which means the slip road from the A329(M) Reading-bound to the M4 westbound towards Wales will be closed from 9 PM on Monday until 6 AM on Tuesday.
Wokingham Borough Council has a plan for traffic diversion during these closures. They suggest using the North Wokingham Distributor Road, followed by the A329 Reading Road to the Showcase roundabout.
So, there you have it! A crucial route is getting some much-needed attention, but it's going to cause some temporary headaches for commuters. And this is the part most people miss: these overnight closures are a great opportunity to highlight the importance of keeping our roads clean and safe.
