Reconstruction of M4 junction 11, the connection point for the A33 and large parts of Reading. The junction improvements will add a new roundabout around the outside of the existing one, with the current bridges used for a bus priority route through the middle of the new junction. It will facilitate park and ride facilities that are proposed close to the site.
