HEAVY traffic is forming in Bracknell as road workers closed the A3095 northbound today.
Google Maps shows congestion on the B3430 by the Look Out discovery centre as drivers look for an alternative route towards Bracknell from Crowthorne and Sandhurst.
‘Heavier traffic than usual’ is being reported and this could be the case for a number of weeks as improvement works are set to last for around three months.
The improvement works, between the Golden Retriever and Hanworth roundabouts, will include adding a fly-through lane on the central island of the Hanworth roundabout for south-bound traffic and installing full-time traffic signals at the junction.
The Golden retriever roundabout will be converted to a crossroads with traffic lights, and new pedestrian and cycle crossings on Nine Mile Ride and the A309 will be added.
Road workers will be working seven days a week from 7 am to 6 pm to make sure progress is quick and evening disruption is avoided.
