For anyone living East of J12 of the M4 (and attending the Shrewsbury match next Saturday) please note closure of the M4 between J12 & J13 next weekend. This is one of four weekend closures over the next couple of months, the last of which may impact our travel to the Play off final!
UTG
M4 Junctions 12 to 13: Bridge Refurbishment
I am writing to provide an update to the programme and additional traffic management information for the bridge refurbishment works taking place along the M4 near Bradfield.
As previously advised, long-term monitoring has found that the two bridges which carry the M4 over Ashampstead Road and Dark Lane, near Bradfield in West Berkshire, require extensive repair due to chloride-induced corrosion. Critical repairs are required to address the defects and ensure the structures remain in a safe and serviceable condition.
WEEKEND CLOSURES
The programme of weekend closures of the M4 has been revised to not only avoid bank holidays but also the school Easter half term holiday, where traffic flows may increase along the M4. The closures are now currently scheduled to take place from 9pm Friday through to 6am on Monday on the following weekends:
• Friday 31 March to Monday 3 April 2017
• Friday 5 May to Monday 8 May 2017
• Friday 12 May to Monday 15 May 2017
• Friday 19 May to Monday 22 May 2017 (contingency weekend only)
During these closures a clearly signed diversion will be in place via the A4 (through Newbury, Thatcham and Woolhampton).
Confirmed dates for these closures will be displayed in advance on signs along the M4.
Significant delays are expected during these weekend closure periods, and it is advised that you plan ahead of your journey to allow for extra time or avoid this route where possible.
