A Finchampstead junction is expected to experience disruption for roughly seven months as it is transformed to improve safety and enhance the appearance of the area.

California Cross is a junction in Finchampstead which connects Nine Mile Ride to Finchamstead Road and other areas in Finchampstead

The present traffic route for vehicles includes two mini roundabouts and a selection of pedestrian islands with railings.

To enhance safety for both pedestrians and drivers, the junction will be rebuilt from the ground up, including an increasing number of crossing points and speed humps.

Traditional road markings will also be switched out to encourage drivers to be more aware of pedestrians.

According to one network Finchampstead Road and Nine Mile Ride are expected to be closed from 12 Feb - 13 Sep to transform the junction.

California Cross is currently the location for multiple local shops used by nearby residents. This includes a Co-op, post office, a pharmacy, and Cresswell Garage and petrol station.

Wokingham Borough Council said that the closure of Finchampstead Road has been delayed by emergency gas repairs on The Ridges.
