A CIVIL engineer will lead a talk with the Berkshire Industrial Archaeology Group about the A329(M).
As the road is now 50 years old, the group’s meeting will feature a session with David Hunter, one of the civil engineers working for Berkshire County Council on the road.
Mr Hunter was personally involved in the design and construction of the road, which was unusual in that it was a local authority project as opposed to a government project.
The road runs from just north of Bracknell, working past Wokingham to cross the M4, and meets the A3290 at Winnersh Triangle.
The meeting will be held at St Mary’s Church Hall from 7.30pm on Monday, January 23.
Non-members are welcome, though a charge of £2.50 is made to cover room hire and costs, and no booking is required.
