M4 J12 -Avoid.

[onyx39]

Just popped out to lunch, on the way back, M4 closed at Junction 12 (London Bound) and traffic being turned around and brought off the motorway up the on-slip.
Apparently an overturned concrete mixer, they reckon on the HA agency it will be closed for a couple of hours.

Now closed till 6am tomorrow morning to resurface the road.
A4 through Reading rather busy

[Magictrousers]

Slight understatement, old Bean! A4 through Reading a blooming car park!

Still a nightmare, only 2 lanes open Eastbound

Its a pity the highways agency / highways authority don't respond to pot holes and failing road surfaces in general that quick / if ever.

There again someone's insurance will pick the tab up for that mess anyway.

[SydneyBridge]

it is going to be one hell of a bill for someone

Fully reopen by 1600hrs according to local news about 1 hour ago.
They have had to re-surface as well as repair barriers.
Knock-on effect was heavy traffic through Reading last night and this morning
Cheers, Pewe.

Not just through Reading. My journey home yesterday from Kingsclere via Tadley, Mortimer, Swallowfield to Wokingham was the worst it's been in the 8+ years I've been driving it, especially Beech Hill Road approaching B3349 at Spencers Wood where it was tailing back about a mile.

I left Wargarve at 17:00 hrs in a 32 tonner and got back to Bagshot via A4 329M A322 A30
in a little over 35 mins
That's good going for loony hour and 12 litres of turbo charger MAN Diesel with 16 speed Eaton.
