A stretch of the M4 in Berkshire has fully reopened after work to install steel beams that will form part of a new bridge was finished early.

The motorway between junctions 5 and 6, near Slough, reopened on Sunday at about 02:00 BST. It was due to be closed until 06:00 BST on Monday.

The beams will make up part of the new Recreation Ground bridge to link Datchet to Upper Court Park in Slough.

The M4 between junctions 3 and 12 is being upgraded to a smart motorway.

Work to install the beams was done within 24 hours, Highways England said.
