A Smoother ride in the Wokingham Borough
Resurfacing work and road repairs are being carried out by Wokingham Borough Council’s contractors on four main roads in the borough over the next few weeks – which will mean motorists will need to find an alternative route while the improvements are carried out.
The work will ensure bumps and small potholes are filled in so that the borough’s roads are in a better condition for everyone using them.
Wokingham Highways Alliance* will carry out the work and manage traffic on the following roads:
• Maidenhead Road and Carters Hill – between The Straight Mile and the borough’s boundary with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The work, which will include patching the highway and repairing drainage, started on Monday September 8 and last for around two weeks. The alternative route for motorists is The Straight Mile to Binfield Road, to Twyford Road and then on to Church Hill.
• Waterloo Road – between Easthampstead Road and the railway crossing. The work will include patching up parts of the road surface, repairing some kerbs and resurfacing part of the road. It started on Monday September 8 and will last for about one week. The alternative route will be along Easthampstead Road and Old Wokingham Road.
• Milley Lane – between the A4 Bath Road and Milley Bridge. The work will include resurfacing and repairing parts of the road and repairing drains. It will start on Monday September 15 and last for about two weeks. The alternative route is A4 Bath Road, London Road, New Road, Ruscombe Lane, Waltham Road, Twyford Road and The Street.
Cllr Keith Baker, executive member for Wokingham highways and transport, said: “The Highways Alliance is a new team in the borough that has made a commitment to maintain and improve roads so that motorists have a safer and more comfortable journey.
“I’d like to apologise to anyone who is inconvenienced by the roadworks over the next few weeks and thank motorists in advance for their patience while these improvements, and future improvements, are carried out. In our vision we have pledged to the community that as a council we will invest in our roads and improve road safety – therefore this work is essential in fulfilling that promise to make our roads as safe and user-friendly as possible.”
