Below is a list of the work scheduled to be carried out over the next two weeks. Please note that this page is updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and that this data was correct at the time of publication but is subject to change.

It may not always be possible for some of the works listed below to go ahead. If you have any queries about these works please visit our full roadworks map. We ask that you support our essential workers and the job they must do; their job is vital to keep the network safe and Wokingham moving.

Urgent works

There are times when urgent works are required to be carried out on our road network that we are not able to communicate prior to roadworks being put in place. These works are generally carried out by utility companies. Once made aware, our team will post about these types of works on our Facebook page which we invite you to follow.

Major works

The footbridge linking Earley and Woodley across the A3290 and railway line is due to undergo essential refurbishment works. The bridge is expected to remain closed between 19 October 2026 and approximately April 2027 whilst refurbishment works are undertaken. For further information see our Earley Station footbridge refurbishment page.

Woodley to Reading Active Travel Route

Works on a new cycle link from Woodley’s town centre into Reading Borough at Palmer Park are now in progress. This will be completed in phases, connecting the precinct to Palmer Park via Woodlands Avenue, Church Road, Palmerstone Road and Culver Lane.

Construction works will start at the eastern end of Woodlands Avenue and progress towards Palmer Park. These works will take place in sections, with rolling road closures and diversions along Woodlands Avenue until mid-August.

Visit our project page to find out more.

Thames Water Works – Bearwood Road

Thames Water are now in Phase 4 of their works, with Barkham Road closed between Barkham Street and Barkham Bridge.

The previous closure on Barkham Road between Bearwood Road and Barkham Street has now been removed, and this section of the road is open.

Drivers are also now able to turn right from Barkham Street onto Barkham Road. Bearwood Road is also open in both directions.

Please take care when travelling through the area and follow the signed diversion route in place. Commonfield Lane is not part of the signed diversion route and, as a single-track road, is not suitable for diverted traffic. Drivers are asked to follow the official diversion signage.

We would like to thank residents, businesses and road users for their continued patience while Thames Water carry out these essential works.
