A new bridge is being installed over the M4, as part of the construction of the new Shinfield Eastern Relief Road, by HOCHTIEF (UK) Construction on behalf of the University of Reading.

The M4 will be closed in both directions for 3 nights to allow the installation of the outer frame of the new bridge deck and barriers which will protect the workforce during construction. These couldn’t be completed during the closures earlier in December due to adverse weather.

The closures will be in place overnight, from 9pm to 6am, when traffic flows are at their lowest.

A clearly signed diversion will be in place via the B3270 and A329(M).

For more information about the work, visit the south of M4 page.
