I have just received this from Highways England.

And yes, I know 9th October was Monday, not Tuesday.  I am assuming that they mean it starts today, Tuesday 10th, nor yesterday, Monday 9th or they would have sent it yesterday.

All clear?

PS Are we going to reach a point at which every single route out of Wokingham town centre is going to have roadworks on it?  Oh joy!

 

Please find below planned overnight closures and weekend closures of the slip roads at junction 10 where they cross over the M4, where we are currently undertaking work to reconstruct the bridge foundations:
