The site team have now commenced works at the Tadley Gate – where a similar roundabout is being constructed.
The works at the Aldermaston & Tadley Gate are the original contract works which completed the first phase in a safe and timely manner we have been successful in negotiating a further phase – the Main Gate reconstruction which has also just commenced.
