A MAJOR route to the borough is to be closed next week to allow resurfacing works to take place.

A section of the Wokingham Road near the Three Tuns crossroads that divides Wokingham with Reading is being repaired.

It means that motorists will face three days of misery if they want to get from Earley into central Reading.

Motorists have already faced a series of delays in recent weeks, as Sidmouth Street was closed for works. Last week, parts of the London Road carriageway was closed for Thames Water works, causing more jams on the roads that link Wokingham to Reading.

The work on Wokingham Road will start on Thursday, November 11, and include the area from the junction of Holmes Road to Melrose Avenue.

A spokesperson for Reading Borough Council said: “Highway Inspectors carry out regular inspection of road condition and produce a condition report based on various nature of defects identified. Following the recent survey carried out, a section of Wokingham Road has been recommended for resurfacing.”

Carried out by FM Conway, the works comprise removing the existing carriageway surface and laying it with new material.

In addition, gully cleaning and repainting of road markings will also take place.

There is one small mercy for motorists: the work is scheduled to take place between 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Diversion routes will be in place during the road closure, and residents and businesses will still have access where possible, but are warned that this may not be guaranteed.

As such, drivers are advised to avoid on-street parking during the working hours.

Should individuals have any problems, they should call FM Conway on 07584 546837.

Or residents can contact Reading Borough Council by emailing resurfacing@reading.gov.uk or call 0118 937 3787.
