Work on a £17.5 million redesign of Junction 15 of the M4, south of Swindon and north of Marlborough, will begin next month.

Highways England has teamed up with Swindon Borough Council, Swindon and Wiltshire Local Enterprise Partnership and developers Persimmon and Redrow to deliver extra lanes and improve local road access from the motorway.

Roads and bridges in Swindon are set to benefit from almost £5m in government funding.

The Department for Transport (DfT) named Swindon Borough Council as one of 32 local authorities, which are set to benefit from £93.4m from the Local Highways Maintenance Challenge Fund.
