Temporary traffic signals cause jams along A4 in Thatcham

Thatcham is experiencing traffic problems this morning (Thursday) following the commencement of roadworks.

Multi-way traffic control signals have been installed on the A4 Bath Road near its junction with Cox’s Lane by Scottish and Southern Power Distribution.

The traffic signals have caused significant traffic build up on the A4.

Cars travelling westbound towards Thatcham are currently backed up towards Woolhampton, and eastbound traffic is jammed up from Thatcham High Street onwards.

The traffic is reportedly creating delays of up to 20 minutes.

The traffic signals, which came into operation this morning, are expected to remain for 11 days until 5pm on Sunday, December 1.
