Work starts on M4 emergency gates
Work to install an emergency gate on the M4 to help release traffic in the event of an accident will begin today. The gate will be installed in the central reservation of the motorway between junctions 14 and 15 between Newbury and Swindon.
The gate can be opened by the Highways Agency or the emergency services to allow drivers stuck behind the scene of an incident to turn around onto the opposite carriageway.
