Between February and September 2017 Highways England is undertaking essential repairs to the two bridges which carry the M4 over Ashampstead Road and Dark Lane, near Bradfield in West Berkshire. This work will involve road resurfacing, replacing the central reserve deck beams, bridge joints and sections of the safety barrier.

During works to demolish and install the large bridge deck beams we will need to shut the M4 between junctions 12 and 13 on selected weekends, from 9pm Friday to 6am Monday.

These closures are currently planned for:

• Friday 31 March to Monday 3 April 2017
• Friday 5 May to Monday 8 May 2017
• Friday 12 May to Monday 15 May 2017
• Friday 19 May to Monday 22 May 2017

A clearly signed diversion will be in place via the A4 (through Newbury, Thatcham and Woolhampton).

There will also be restricted lanes open, from 9pm Friday to 6am Monday, on the following weekends:

• Friday 7 July to Monday 10 July 2017 (westbound only)
• Friday 28 July to Monday 31 July 2017 (eastbound only)
