M4 Motorway closures for October and November
From the official Berkshire News website:
Smart motorway roadworks on the M4 are expected to cause delays for drivers again this weekend. The motorway is due to be closed eastbound overnight on Friday and then from Saturday night until the early hours of Monday morning.
The closure will be in place eastbound only, between junction 11 for Reading and junction 10 for Wokingham/Bracknell. The M4 will initially be closed from 10pm on Friday, October 14 until 6am on Saturday morning. The road will then reopen and remain open all day, so works do not clash with Reading FC’s home game to West Brom on Saturday afternoon.
From 10pm on Saturday, October 15, the eastbound stretch between junction 11 and junction 10 will close again and will not reopen until 6am on Monday, October 17. During both closures, drivers will be diverted off the M4 at junction 11 and onto the B3270 before joining Lower Earley Way and going across the Showcase roundabout, onto the A329M and then back onto the M4 at junction 10.

Drivers using the M4 are also warned of roadworks and lane closures, between junction 3 and 1, being carried out by Transport for London. These include bridge refurbishment works at the Chiswick flyover.
A National Highways spokesman said the smart motorway project between junction 3 at Hayes and junction 12 Theale was nearing completion and that a few more weekend closures were required to complete everything by the end of this year. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys and allow extra time.
