The M4 motorway links London with South Wales. It is part of the unsigned European route E30. Other major places directly accessible from M4 junctions are Reading, Swindon, Bristol, Newport, Cardiff and Swansea. Originally referred to as the London-South Wales Motorway, the English section was constructed between 1965 and 1971, the Welsh section was completed in 1993 and the Second Severn Crossing opened in 1996.
The M4 runs close to the A4 from London to Bristol. After crossing the River Severn it follows the A48 through Wales, using the Brynglas Tunnels at Junction 25a, Newport and terminates just north of Pontarddulais. The route of the M4 is known as the M4 corridor.
(The above excerpt taken from Wikipedia)
Junction 11 of the M4 had become a real bottleneck over many years causing congestion in and around the junction – Reading's main traffic gateway. Reading Borough Council working in partnership with Wokingham Borough Council and the Highways Agency planned and led the implementation of the £65 million transport improvement scheme.
The scheme consists of a new four-lane motorway junction with two new strategic road bridges around the existing motorway junction. The existing road bridges have been retained, with one solely for pedestrians and cyclists and the other for buses. The scheme also includes two new signalised junctions south of the M4 on the A33 Swallowfield by-pass in Shinfield. The whole area has also been made greener by planting trees and shrubs to complement the scheme.
This is a quick cache & dash couple of hundred yards to south of the M4 junction 11 off the A33 on the old Basingstoke Road.
