M4 smart motorway work closure update for the week commencing 15 June 2020

Work to improve journeys by converting the M4 into a smart motorway between Junctions 3 at Hayes to Junction 12 at Theale continues this week. 24 hour narrow lanes and a 50mph speed restriction are in place for sections of this stretch of the M4. Carriageway and slip road closures are planned as follows, all fully closed overnight (traffic management will usually be rolled out from 10pm and taken off by 6am).

  • The next scheduled weekend closure is between junctions 4b and 5 over the weekend of 26-29 June 2020.
  • Our June news bulletin is out with details of our weekend closures up to the end of September, read it here.....

    There are two overnight closures next week:

  • The M4 between junctions 5 (Langley) and 6 (Slough-Windsor) will be closed in both directions overnight on Thursday 18 & Friday 19 June 2020 for work on the new Riding Court Road bridge. Clearly signed diversions will be in place utilising the A4 & A355.
  • Slip road closures for next week are as follows:

  • Junction 4b - the westbound link road from the M25 will be closed overnight on 15, 16, 17, 18 & 19 June.
  • Junction 4b - the eastbound link road to the M25 will be closed overnight on 16, 17, 18 & 19 June.
  • Junction 12 - the westbound exit slip will be closed overnight on 15 & 16 June 2020.
  • Junction 12 - the eastbound entry slip will be closed overnight on 15 & 16 June 2020.
  • In the event of poor weather conditions or other issues out of our control, planned work may be postponed at short notice. Contingency bookings are also in place, but these are only used if previously planned work is delayed and there is no clash with other closures. If work completes on an earlier day the motorway may not close, or if work completes ahead of schedule the motorway may reopen early. Signage will be in place on the network to notify of closures and diversions. The project is continuing but all our work is under careful review in response to the Covid-19 outbreak and safety measures are in place on site to protect workers, their families and the public.
