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 between approximately 10pm and 5am (traffic management will usually be rolled out from 9pm and taken off by 6am).

Full closures booked for the week commencing Monday 17th June are as follows:

  • The M4 westbound carriageway between junctions 8/9 (Maidenhead) and 10 (Wokingham) will be closed overnight on Monday 17th, Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th June. A clearly signed diversion will be in place utilising the A404M, the A4, the A3290 and the A329M. A contingency booking is in place on Thursday 20th June.
  • There are also several slip road closures booked as follows:

  • Junction 7 - the westbound exit slip will be closed overnight on 17th, 18th and 19th June.
  • Junction 7 - the eastbound exit slip will be closed overnight on 20th and 21st June.
  • Junction 8/9 - the eastbound exit slip will be closed overnight on 17th and 18th June.
  • 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. 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.
