Road improvements

Reading Borough Council is committing the first £2m of a new £8m investment on the major road programme which will also see a substantial number of residential roads improved over the next four years.

The ongoing work requires road closures and restrictions to access and parking. Scheduled work is listed below but can sometimes be postponed, delayed or extended due to unforeseen circumstances. See our frequently asked questions about resurfacing requirements for further information.

Note: HRA=hot-rolled asphalt

Network North roads resurfacing fund programme

The Department of Transport have announced additional funding to be allocated to Reading Borough Council as part of the Network North Highway Maintenance re-allocation of HS2 funding. This additional funding will enable Reading Borough Council to further improve our highway network and road conditions. See the maintenance reporting document and our roads resurfacing programme appendix below for further information.
