Road closures

Will there be any road closures?

Although we aim to carry out construction works in phases to minimise disruption, there will be some closures while they take place - this is required for the carriageway works. Pedestrian access will always be maintained for all businesses and we’ll do all we can to maintain deliveries to all businesses through traffic management.

At present, the works have been planned to take place in phases. The plans are available to view below. During these works, access will be provided for residents, businesses and schools via the signed diversion routes in place.

This improvement project which started in February 2024, has an estimated completion date of September 2024.

Phase 1

Access will be maintained to properties along these roads within the closure. Official diversion routes for Phase 1 can be found on one.network.

Phase 2

Finchampstead Road will be closed from Wild Acres Rest Home to the crossroads and Nine Mile Ride will be closed from the junction of Wick Hill Lane to the crossroads. Access will be maintained to properties along these roads within the closure.

Phase 3

Traffic lights will be in place around the crossroads during this phase.

Further information in regards to the schedule of these works will be updated regularly on the current status page where all our newsletter updates can also be found.

Bus diversions

Bus companies will continue to serve as much of their routes in the area as possible. However, some locations will need to be temporarily closed for the duration of the project.

For the latest information about diversions and changes to bus stop locations throughout the project, please visit Reading buses and Thames Valley Buses websites.

Thames Valley Buses have confirmed a diverted route utilising Foxcote and Kiln Ride, with a replacement stop due to be in operation along Windsor Ride.

Information regarding bus routes will be available to view on both Reading Buses and Thames Valley Buses websites for the duration of the scheme.
