Scheme Outline
Reconstruction of M4 junction 11, the connection point for the A33 and large parts of Reading. The junction improvements will add a new gyratory system around the outside of the existing roundabout, with the current bridges used for a bus priority route through the middle of the new junction. It will facilitate park and ride facilities that are proposed close to the site.
Progress

| 24 May 2010 | The new motorway bridges are mostly complete. The new roundabouts in South Reading are close to completion. Traffic from M4 J11 into Reading temporarily follows a different route while another roundabout is completed. |
