Finchampstead Road Roundabout Upgrade Almost Done – Southbound Closure Ends Early!

The long-awaited upgrade at the Western Gateway roundabout, where Finchampstead Road meets Molly Millars Lane, is nearly complete. Great news for drivers: the southbound closure will be lifted this Friday, March 6, at 5pm – a whole week ahead of schedule!

This means traffic can finally move smoothly in all directions, slashing congestion and easing delays for local commuters. But don’t stash your patience just yet. Some traffic controls will stay in place on the roundabout approaches for now.

Night-Time Shutdowns Hit From March 16 for Surfacing Work

Daytime drivers get a break, but night-time travellers beware. From March 16 to 28, the roundabout will close completely between 8pm and 6am. These overnight closures are crucial for surfacing and road marking works set to improve the junction.
