Latest Changes to Junction 11 Traffic Flows

Reading Borough Council Press Release

03/03/2010

Motorists are being asked to look out for important changes to traffic flows around Junction 11 of the M4, which will come into effect next week.

Work on Junction 11 is continuing to progress well, with new sections of road that will make up the improved new junction being completed. Because the busy junction has to remain open while work is taking place, it is necessary to change traffic flows at certain points during the project for work to continue.

From week commencing Monday March 8, motorists approaching the A33 Mereoak roundabout from either Basingstoke Road or Mereoak Lane will need to follow new directions.

Drivers approaching the roundabout from Three Mile Cross (Basingstoke Road) and wanting to travel north towards Reading will now need to turn left at the roundabout and use a new temporary roundabout on the A33 where drivers can `u turn' and then travel north towards Reading.

Similarly, drivers approaching the A33 Mereoak Roundabout from Mereoak Lane and wanting to travel south towards Basingstoke will be directed left up to the main Junction 11 roundabout where they can `u turn' and follow the A33 Southbound.

Drivers travelling northbound and southbound along the A33 can continue to cross the Mereoak junction as normal, however, the northbound right turn into Three Mile Cross will no longer be available requiring drivers to U-turn at junction 11.

These new temporary traffic flows are the next essential stage in a series of changes to help the construction of the new road layout.

Electronic signs warning drivers of the change will be put in place a few days before the change happens so that regular users of the junction will be aware. The variable message signs will then remain in place throughout this phase of the project.

Motorists who are not as familiar with the junction are also asked to take extra care to follow the correct signs during this period of work. Local businesses, schools and emergency services are all being given a map to ensure staff or parents are aware of the changes before they take place.

To access a map showing the changed traffic flows around Junction 11 log onto the following link www.reading.gov.uk/junction11


If people have any concerns or want more information on the changes or indeed the wider Junction 11 improvement Scheme they can phone 0845 241 7757 or email m4@laingorourke.com
