Great news of good progress by the North Wokingham Distributor Road project as the bridge beams were lifted into place last weekend for the road section that crosses the railway track to Reading.
There will be 4,000 new homes built in Wokingham by 2026 as part of Wokingham Borough Council's project to build more houses. It is essential that infrastructure is in place to reduce any detrimental effects for our existing residents. The North Wokingham Distributor Road (NWDR) will provide access to the new developments and help minimise the impact of increased traffic.
The North Wokingham Distributor Road (NWDR) consists of 7 separate schemes, 4 of which are developer led (Bell Foundry Lane, Matthewsgreen, Kentwood Farm and Keephatch Beech) and 3 that are being delivered by Wokingham Borough Council which are West of Old Forest Road (WOFR), Toutley Road and Ashridge Farm.
Once completed, the NWDR will connect the A329 near the BP garage on Reading Road, with the A329(M) Reading to Bracknell motorway near the Coppid Beech roundabout junction. The new road will also provide a link from Winnersh to the A329(M) avoiding Wokingham town centre.
The NWDR will also provide access to the developments at Matthewsgreen, Kentwood Farm and Keephatch Beech and provide these areas with convenient and direct access to the motorway network as it will give access to both the A329 (M) and the M4.
