The resurfacing of Braywick Roundabout is part of a broader initiative to enhance the quality and safety of our local roads. Here’s a breakdown of what drivers need to be aware of during the closure period:
Timing and Duration
The roundabout will be closed from the evening of July 23, starting at 9 PM, until the early morning of July 24, approximately around 6 AM. These times have been chosen to minimise daytime traffic disruption, as night hours generally experience lower traffic volumes.
Diversions and Alternative Routes
Motorists are advised to plan their journeys in advance and follow the official diversion routes that will be clearly signposted. The local authorities have coordinated with traffic management teams to ensure that alternative routes are well-marked and accessible. Expect some delays and allow additional travel time.
Public Transport Adjustments
Public transport services, including buses that usually pass through Braywick Roundabout, will also be affected. Passengers should check with their service providers for updated schedules and rerouted services during the closure period.
Impact on the Local Community
While the resurfacing project at Braywick Roundabout aims to provide long-term benefits such as smoother drives and increased safety, the short-term impact on residents and businesses cannot be ignored.
Residential Areas
Residents living near Braywick Roundabout should anticipate some noise pollution due to the overnight construction work. However, efforts will be made to reduce disturbances as much as possible. Authorities appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation during this essential work.
Local Businesses
Businesses in the vicinity may experience a temporary dip in customer traffic due to the closures. Business owners are encouraged to inform their customers in advance and consider adjusting their operating hours if necessary.
Conclusion
The resurfacing of Braywick Roundabout is a significant step toward improving infrastructure between Windsor and Maidenhead. While the temporary closure from the night of July 23 to the morning of July 24 will bring some inconvenience, the long-term benefits are expected to outweigh these short-term disruptions. Local authorities urge everyone to stay informed, plan accordingly, and exercise patience as this vital work is completed.
