I travel through Bracknell on the way to work, and there is obviously a lot of road works / building works being carried out, but I am curious about one thing which is being done.
On the left hand side of the road near the roundabout shown below, they appear to be building a "mound" for want of a better word. Are they constructing some sort of overpass?

New Services for M4 enabling works
Waitrose is leaving the area so lots of vacant space.

Waitrose pulling out of Bracknell? That's a jobs blow! What with BMW Going too!

I can't see Waitrose pulling out, not after the huge chiller warehouses they've just built.

I would think the same. Waitrose have been putting lots of money into new buildings so wouldn't pull out of bracknell.

I suspect they have had a fault on the HT powerlines they buried there a few years ago. I think the pile of dirt is simple a neat pile of spoils from the large hole they have dug.
PS - I do not envisage Waitrose pulling out given the very recent and current building work that is taking place.
