Weekend closure of M4 as upgrade reaches final stages

A section of the M4 in Berkshire between Slough and Maidenhead will be closed as a major upgrade reaches its final stages.

The road will be closed between junction 6 (Slough) and junction 8/9 (Maidenhead) from around 10pm tomorrow (Friday) and will reopen by 6am on Monday while work is carried out on the Thames Bray bridge and various other finishing works on this section of the upgrade.

Traffic will be diverted on to the A308M, the A308, the A332 and the A355.

Variable speed limits introduced earlier this year will continue to operate on the M4, with some sections starting to return to the national speed limit.

A new camera system is now fully operational, in addition to supplementary traffic officer patrols which will continue to monitor the road while the temporary CCTV and free recovery service is decommissioned.

The upgraded M4 is expected to fully open in the next few days.
