Wiltshire motorists heading towards London and back again this weekend can expect road chaos as part of the M4 is to be closed.

The motorway will be closed in both directions between junctions 6 and 8/9 in Berkshire while a bridge is demolished.

That stretch near Maidenhead will be shut from 8pm on Friday, July 17 until 6am on Monday, July 20.

A spokesman said: "The new Monkey Island Lane bridge at Bray opened to the public last weekend, clearing the way for the removal of the old structure.

"During the closure traffic will be diverted to A308M, A308 and the A355 but drivers are being asked to plan their journeys and to consider other routes."
