DRIVERS using the M4 this weekend are being warned to plan ahead.
Highways England has said diversions will be in place over the next two weekends as two separate stretches will be closed for resurfacing works.
From 9pm tonight (Friday) the eastbound M4 will be closed between junctions 5 and 4b until 6am on Monday (September 7).
This is for resurfacing work around the new Old Slade Lane bridge and to upgrade the carriageway into a smart motorway.
Traffic will be diverted to M25 at J14 via the A4, A3044 and A3113, drivers should head north on the M25 to re-join the M4 at junction 4b.
Another closure, westbound only, will be in place between junctions 13 and 14 from today until Monday (September 7) for carriageway resurfacing.
Traffic should follow the A3113, A3044 and the A4 to re-join the M4 at junction 15 to continue the journey west.
