Motorists in the Slough area are advised to plan their journeys carefully as a high-severity road closure is in place on National Highways, with an impact on traffic flow on a section of the network. The affected stretch of road is on an unknown road, located near National Highways Closure 498899, and the closure is expected to last from 21:00 on August 15, 2026, until 04:30 on August 16, 2026.

Motorists are being directed to use alternative routes during this time, as National Highways works to complete their ongoing maintenance on the strategic road network. This project is part of a larger initiative to upgrade and improve the UK's roads. The highway authority responsible for maintaining this section of road is National Highways, who are working to minimise disruptions to the travelling public.

Those planning to use this route are advised to check for updates before embarking on their journey, as the situation may change during the closure period. Checking traffic apps such as Waze, Google Maps, or other real-time traffic services will provide the most up-to-date information on road conditions and any other disruptions that may be affecting the area. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, leave early, and consider alternative modes of transport if possible.

While the road closure is in place, traffic will be diverted, and drivers are advised to follow the recommended diversion route. This will help to ensure the safe flow of traffic and prevent any potential congestion. Motorists who are not familiar with the area are advised to exercise caution and follow the instructions of traffic management personnel.

For those who rely on this section of road for their daily commute, it may be worth considering adjusting their travel plans or exploring alternative routes in advance. This will help to reduce the impact of the closure and ensure that journeys can be completed safely and efficiently.
