A large section of the M4 near Swindon will close overnight for several days.

The planned closure will affect motorists travelling between Swindon and Reading late at night or in the early hours of the morning.

The M4 will close in both directions between Junction 15 (Swindon East) and Junction 14 (Hungerford), along with a small section of the A419 Southbound which joins to the M4.

Both roads will be affected from 9pm until 6am every night until March 2, 2024.

The closures have already been taking place overnight since February 19.

This is so that National Highways can carry out resurfacing and structural work on the busy roads.

The closure is expected to cause increased congestion on other nearby roads as diversions are put in place.
