A404(M) Western Region Railway Bridge
A scheme to replace the Western Region Railway Bridge on the A404(M) near Maidenhead continues this week. A second section of newly constructed bridge has been successfully slid into place, and the road layout has been adjusted to allow work to take place on the bridge by the northbound carriageway. Two narrow lanes remain available at peak times in each direction, and a 40mph speed limit remains in place, with additional off-peak restrictions as required.
The A404(M) will be closed in both directions overnight between junctions 9b and 9a on Saturday 11 June, between 10pm on Saturday evening and 9am on Sunday morning while sections of old bridge supports are removed.
The scheme is expected to be completed in September 2011.
M4 Junction 13 – 14 Winterbourne Bridge Safety repair work is taking place to the bridge which carries the M4 motorway over the B4494 between junctions 13 and 14 near Newbury in Berkshire. Work started at the beginning of May and is expected to take approximately 21 weeks to complete.
Narrow lanes will be in place, including some contraflow and hard shoulder running on a 2.5 mile section of road around the bridge, with a 50mph speed limit, enforced by average speed cameras.
M40 Junction 9
The southbound exit slip road at Junction 9 on the M40 will be closed overnight on Thursday 9 June between 10pm and 6am for routine maintenance. A clearly signed diversion route via junction 8a will be in place.
Safety barrier maintenance – various routes Work to inspect and re-tension safety barriers across motorways and major roads in central southern England continues this week. Depending on the location, work will be carried out during off-peak daytime hours or overnight using temporary lane closures, with occasional overnight slip road closures, which will be confirmed in this bulletin. This work should be completed in October 2011.
M4 Road Marking Maintenance
Work starts this week to renew the lane markings at sections along the M4 in both directions between junction 5 near Slough and junction 15 near Swindon. Work will be carried out at night using temporary lane closures and will be completed in July.
A3 Hindhead
Work continues on this major improvement scheme. There is a 50mph speed limit on the southern approach where the road tapers from two lanes into one and a 40mph speed limit at the northern approach.
Bedhampton Roundabout Improvement Work
A nine month scheme led by Havant Borough Council to improve the junction at the Bedhampton Roundabout (also known as the Rusty Cutter Roundabout), just off junction 5 of the A3(M) in Hampshire, began in October 2010. The improvements will include the introduction of traffic signal controls at the end of the A3(M) and A27 exit slip roads at their junction with the roundabout. New lanes will also be added to the roundabout itself, on the A3(M) southbound exit slip road and eastbound on the link road to the A27 junction. Further information on this scheme can be found at www.dyerandbutler.co.uk.)
