A major road between Reading, Surrey, and Hampshire, will be closed for a whole week.

Reading Road in Finchampstead will be closed from 8pm on Monday, November 8, to 6am on Friday, November 12.

The closure will be in place between Reading Road’s junctions with Park Lane and Fleet Hill.

This is so Wokingham Borough Council can undertake resurfacing works.

The closure means drivers will be diverted using surrounding roads.

Diversions

To get north to go to Reading, drivers should continue to head east along Fleet Hill, then head north on the B3348 and B3016 in Finchampstead.

You can then get onto Nine Mile Ride heading west to get onto Park Lane.

Drivers can then use Park Lane and Langley Common Road to rejoin the A327 Reading Road.

Those who want to head south to Hampshire and Surrey will be diverted off Reading Road at Park Lane, which they can use to get onto Nine Mile Ride heading eastbound.

The B3016 and B3348 can be used heading southbound to get to Eversley Cross. Get onto the B3272 heading west, which will eventually lead to the A327 Reading Road, where you can continue your journey south.
