Road Resurfacing Project at A308 Braywick Roundabout
Scheduled for the night of Tuesday, July 23, essential maintenance work will be conducted to resurface sections of the A308 Braywick Roundabout, a crucial link between Windsor and Maidenhead. This initiative represents a significant investment by the Royal Borough in the long-term viability of this key roadway.
Anticipated to occur between 9 pm on Tuesday and 6 am on Wednesday, the project aims to revamp the roundabout, albeit subject to weather conditions which may influence the timeline. In the event of any alterations, notifications will be displayed on advance warning signs strategically positioned at the site.
To ensure minimal disruption to commuters, advanced warning signs will be deployed two weeks prior to the commencement of the work, assisting road users in planning alternate routes for the affected evening. A designated diversion plan will be implemented to manage traffic flow in the vicinity, encompassing both motorway and non-motorway vehicles accessing the A308(M) spur.
For M4 traffic, the diversion route will guide vehicles via A404M, A4, and A308 or J7, A4, and A308, while A308 traffic heading towards Maidenhead or Windsor will follow distinct diversion routes tailored to streamline traffic movement during the temporary closure.
Councillor Geoff Hill, overseeing highways and transport, emphasized the strategic timing of the Braywick Roundabout maintenance to mitigate inconveniences for road users. Expressing gratitude to residents for their cooperation, Hill stressed the importance of the resurfacing project in bolstering the council's road maintenance agenda, entrusted to Volker Highways, the council's designated contractor.
The resurfacing endeavor is geared towards prolonging the road surface's lifespan and curbing future maintenance demands, underscoring its pivotal role in sustaining infrastructure integrity.
