Strategic Roads & Highways Map

With about 3,500 new homes coming to  Arborfield  and 3,000 to  Shinfield Parish , the extension of Nine Mile Ride to connect with the A327 will help mitigate the impact of additional traffic on existing routes through Arborfield Cross and Shinfield. The A327 link, the northern part of the extension (R1), came first in order to provide access to the new secondary school.

This project on Lower Earley Way involved widening of the road to provide 2 lanes in each direction, between the Loddon Roundabout, near Showcase Cinema, and the new junction with the Winnersh Relief Road. 

These dualling works are to accommodate the forecast traffic, which will be introduced by the completion of the Winnersh Relief Road. We will realign the existing footway/cycleway and add a new footway to the eastern side of the road.

The works to deliver the Lower Earley Way dualling scheme involve widening the northbound carriageway, including renewing the kerb, existing surface water drainage infrastructure, road markings, road signs and other street furniture. Finally, the road was resurfaced throughout the entire limits of the scheme.

Phase 1 of the Winnersh Relief Road runs between the B3270 and King Street Lane. It was built by Bovis Homes and Persimmon as part of their new housing development on the former Hatch Farm Dairies site.

The Winnersh Relief Road as a whole is an important step towards putting the infrastructure in place to improve the resilience of Wokingham Borough's road network by helping to relieve the existing congestion through Winnersh.

With 4,000 new homes coming to  North Wokingham  by 2026, the North Wokingham Distributor Road will minimise the impact of traffic growth on the surrounding rural lanes as well as provide access to the new developments. The road is being built in phases as the adjacent residential developments are built.

A sustainable new village with about 3,500 new homes is being built on the former  Arborfield Garrison  site.  Shinfield Parish  is also seeing significant development, with about 3,000 new homes, with extensions to Shinfield Village, Three Mile Cross and Spencers Wood. The Arborfield Cross Relief Road will minimise the impact of traffic growth on the villages of Arborfield and Arborfield Cross and the surrounding rural lanes.
