The footbridge at Earley Station will close from mid-October 2026 until April 2027 for refurbishment.
Wokingham Borough Council said the closure is expected to last until April 2027. Work will extend the bridge’s working life and improve its long-term safety and reliability. An exact closing date has not been confirmed.
During the closure, people can use the underpass at Henley Wood Road. They can also cross the railway at Mays Lane and the A3290 at Church Road.
A wider pedestrian diversion will run through Station Road, Wokingham Road, Henley Wood Road, Henley Wood Subway, Dartington Avenue and Nightingale Road.
Earley Station car park will also close for use as a site compound. Parcel and charity drop boxes will remain accessible.
Drivers are encouraged to use Winnersh Park and Ride instead. People are asked to plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys.
Keep an eye on Wokingham Borough's Facebook page for an exact date of closure.
