In the public notices this week there are motorway closures, a footpath closure and several local road closures.

Traffic

National Highways intends to carry out overnight closures on sections of the M4 between junction 5 and junction 10, on the A404(M), on the A308(M), and on the A404, for maintenance and renewal.

The closures may include both carriageways, slip roads, link roads, hard shoulders, emergency refuge areas and the circulatory systems at M4 junction 8/9, Bisham Roundabout and Handy Cross Roundabout.

Some closures will also allow heavy goods vehicles to use the outside lane during inside-lane closures.

The programme of works will start on or after Friday, January 2, 2026. Overnight closures will take place between 9pm and 6am.

Traffic will be diverted via other junctions of the M4, A404(M), A308(M) and the A404, or via the A4, A308, A329(M), A338, A339, A419, A3290, A4094, A4130, A4155, B3270 and the B4192, depending on which closure is in place.

Signs will show all closures and diversions when they are in operation.

This closure order will remain in force until Thursday, December 24, 2026.

The Royal Borough intends to prohibit vehicles from using Warren Row Road between the boundaries of the property known as Blacksmiths Barn.

Traffic will be diverted via Warren Row Road, Upper Culham Lane, A4130 Henley Road, Rose Lane and Warren Row Road.
