Slough: Vicarage Way closed due to urgent roadworks

Vicarage Way in Slough to Close for Urgent Repairs

Vicarage Way in Slough will be closed from 12:23 on 14 August 2026 to 12:23 on 18 August 2026 due to immediate urgent roadworks, causing disruptions to motorists. The works are being carried out by Slough Borough Council. This section of Vicarage Way is approximately 200 metres long, near the London area.

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and use alternative routes to avoid congestion on Vicarage Way. The nearby A4, which is a major route connecting Slough to the M4 motorway, is expected to be busy during the roadworks. Drivers are urged to check their traffic apps for real-time updates and allow extra time for their journeys.

Motorists travelling westbound on Vicarage Way towards the London area may need to divert via the A308 or the A4, depending on their specific route requirements. The diversion may add around 10-15 minutes to journeys, depending on traffic conditions. Eastbound motorists may need to use the A4 or the A308 as an alternative route, adding a similar amount of time to their journeys.

While the roadworks are expected to have a medium impact on traffic flow, drivers are advised to be patient and cautious when approaching the closed section of Vicarage Way. Emergency services will be on scene to direct traffic, but motorists are urged to follow the diversion signs and instructions provided.

Slough Borough Council has scheduled the urgent roadworks to take place during the daytime, when traffic volumes are generally lower. However, traffic congestion is still expected, particularly during peak hours. Motorists are advised to consider alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or car-sharing, to avoid the roadworks.

Residents and businesses in the area may experience some disruption to their daily routines due to the roadworks. However, the council has assured that they will do everything possible to minimise the impact on local traffic.
