Summer Road Resurfacing Programme For Reading Delayed
Summer Road Resurfacing Programme Delayed
This year’s programme still begins in mid-July and will see nearly 3 kilometres of road resurfaced across the borough. The schedule of work has been re-programmed however following discussions with the Council’s contractor. The updated list of when work will begin on each road and the duration can be found below.
Work begins with a series of overnight closures beginning on July 16th onwards on sections of London Street, Duke Street and Bridge Street. Day time working begins on July 24th onwards – a day earlier than first planned – to coincide with the school holidays when traffic levels are lower. Works will then continue through the first half of August and are programmed to be completed before the Reading Festival period.
Advance notices will be in place to warn drivers in the days before works commence in each road. Notification letters will also be sent to local residents and businesses affected by the works. Locally signed diversion routes will be in place during road closures.
