Motorists face a fortnight of misery as the A329 gets resurfaced.
From Wednesday next week, the road will be closed between Winnersh crossroads and Woodward close to enable contractors employed by Wokingham Borough Council to work safely.
It is the final phase of the seven-week project and it is expected to be finished by Friday, February 19. During the works, Reading Road will be closed and while contractors aim to keep access open for residents there will be times when this is not possible.
Wokingham Borough Council has published a timetable on its website and the works will be carried out from 8pm to 6am.
A spokesperson for the Council said: “Back in December we wrote to local residents to let them know about forthcoming improvements works that are taking place along the A329 Reading Road from Winnersh Crossroad to Woodward Close. The works started on Monday January 4, for seven weeks.
“From Wednesday, February 3, overnight resurfacing works will start and are set to run until Friday, February 19.
“To enable this work to take place safely, Reading Road will be closed from the junction of Winnersh Crossroads to Woodward Close, between the hours of 8pm and 6am during this time.
“Residential access will be maintained, wherever possible. However due to the nature of the works there will be times when there will be no access to side roads or properties during the resurfacing works.”
More details can be found in the timetable of works (PDF document).
On nights residents are unable to park their vehicles on their properties; Sainsbury’s will allow people to use its car park.
