Why are we doing it?

Road improvements include essential maintenance work and improving traffic flow through the roundabout.

The project includes renovating and upgrading bridge parapets, waterproofing, resurfacing and erecting safety barriers to ensure the road remains safe into the future and to bring it up to current standards.

It is also an opportunity to update the lighting, signage and landscaping with planting of trees to improve the look of the main gateway to Windsor. This will happen towards the end of the project. One of the main aims of the scheme is to reduce noise levels for residents who live near the road.

The relief road is the main route into the borough for visitors and business traffic and by far the busiest, carrying up to 22 million vehicles a year. The improvements are scheduled to finish by April 2011, well before the 2012 Olympics when the relief road will be a key transport link to the rowing events at Dorney Rowing Lake.

The £7m project is funded by central government following a successful bid by the Royal Borough.
