Pangbourne: Bere Court Road closed

Bere Court Road in Pangbourne will be closed from 7:29am on 16 August 2026 until 7:29am on 19 August 2026, due to urgent works being undertaken by Western Berkshire Council. The closure will have a medium impact on traffic in the area.

Motorists are advised to plan their routes in advance, as they will need to find alternative routes during this time. The nearest city to the closure is Reading, and drivers should check traffic and travel apps such as Waze or Google Maps for the latest information before setting off. These apps will provide up-to-date information on traffic congestion and suggest the best routes to take around the closure.

The closure of Bere Court Road is expected to cause some disruption to traffic, particularly during rush hour periods. However, it is not expected to have a significant impact on the wider road network. Western Berkshire Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and is working to complete the works as quickly as possible.

Drivers should be aware that the closure will be in place for a significant period of time, and they should allow plenty of time for their journeys. It may be worth considering using public transport or carpooling with colleagues or friends to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. Alternatively, drivers can use a satnav or GPS device to find the best routes to take around the closure.

Western Berkshire Council is responsible for maintaining the road network in the area, and the council is working closely with other stakeholders to minimise the impact of the closure. The council will provide regular updates on the progress of the works and will notify residents and businesses in the area of any changes to the closure.

Residents and businesses in the area are advised to check the council's website or social media channels for the latest information on the closure. Road Closures UK will also provide regular updates on the situation, and motorists can check their website for the latest information on road closures and traffic updates.

In the meantime, motorists are advised to plan their routes carefully and to check traffic and travel apps regularly for the latest information. By doing so, they can help to reduce congestion and ensure that their journeys are as smooth as possible.
