Road closures

The Royal Borough (also acting with delegated powers granted by Slough Borough Council) is intending to temporarily close major roads in the Windsor and Eton area to facilitate bridge works.

Drivers will not be able to proceed along the entirety of the A332 Royal Windsor Way and the A332 Windsor and Eton Relief Spur, and along that part of the A335 Royal Windsor Way for its entire length.

The proposed order is to facilitate essential Elizabeth Bridge expansion joints repair works on Royal Windsor Way.

It will come into force each night between 9pm and 6am, Monday to Friday, from Monday, March 2.

The works will continue for a period not exceeding 18 months or until the repairs have been completed.

The alternative route for drivers affected by the closures is the north bound slip road from Clarence Road roundabout, A308 Maidenhead Road, A308 Windsor Road, A308 Braywick Road, A308 King Street, A308 Grenfell Road, A308 Grenfell Place, A308 Frascatti Way, A4 Bad Godesberg Way, A4 St Clouds Way, A4 Bridge Road, A4 Bath Road and A355 Tuns Lane.

Elsewhere, Slough Borough Council (SBC) is intending to make an order to temporarily close the road between 8 and 12 Alpha Street North to traffic.

The proposed order is needed for works that are or are proposed to be carried out on or near the road. If made, it will come into force at 12.01am on Tuesday, April 28.
