Major road network improvements to create a 21st century gateway to the Heart of Slough started in March 2011, and are scheduled to finish in Spring 2012.
The work, led by Slough Borough Council and part funded by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), will upgrade the current road and public transport infrastructure to ease journeys, improve safety and create an attractive welcome to the Heart of Slough.
The improvements coming soon include:
- A new four-way junction controlled by traffic lights to improve the traffic flow. The Brunel roundabout will soon cease to exist and new improved road level pedestrian crossings will be installed.
- The subways under the Brunel roundabout will all close
- New wide pavements catering for pedestrians and cyclists around the junction will be installed
- A new tree lined boulevard will appear along the north and south sides of the A4 Bath Road from High Street West to Brunel Way.
- The existing footways on High Street West will be repaved and widened in places.
- New street furniture and street lighting throughout the scheme.
- The train station forecourt will be improved with new paving making it a more pedestrian friendly environment, relocation of the taxi pick up point plus the introduction of a new passenger drop-off area
