Road closures that may affect your journey
Major works at Elizabeth Bridge, Royal Windsor Way A332 | August 2020 to January 2021
Volker Highways on behalf of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead are carrying out essential major repairs to the Elizabeth Bridge on the A332 Royal Windsor Way. The work is necessary due to the severe corrosion of the bridge. The corrosion is due to a build-up of water in the abutments that has caused the steel connections to corrode over time. The cable ties work together to take the load of the bridge as the vehicles travel over it.
The main element of the work involves the replacement of the 10 cable ties that bear the weight of the bridge. The majority of the repairs can be carried out underneath the bridge and therefore we have tried to keep the impact on motorists to a minimum. In order to complete the project safely and efficiently, there will be significant lane and some full road closures which will potentially impact road users.
Works commence on Monday 17 August 2020 for a duration of 21 weeks until Friday 8 January 2021. The main structure repairs will be carried out during this time. Find out the full details of the works here and full closure details here.
