Several motorway closures will affect drivers across Berkshire this weekend, according to National Highways England.
This is mainly because of repairs on the M4 which will last the full weekend.
Drivers on the M25 heading towards Heathrow Airport will also experience delays following these closures.

Here’s a list of all of the closures from Friday October 8 to Sunday October 10.
