Police have closed three lanes of the M4 after a man was found dead near the motorway in the early hours of Friday morning.
An investigation into the discovery could take several days, and drivers have been urged to find alternative routes if they can.
The man’s death is currently being treated as unexplained, and he is yet to be formally identified.
Road closures have been in place on the M4 westbound, between Junction 4B (M25) and Junction 5 (Langley).
They are set to carry on tomorrow as well while police try and piece together what happened to the man.
The slip road at junction 4b still has one lane closed, while another is shut on the M4 from junction 4b westbound.
There will also be a closure in place for the exit on the M25 to the M4, GetReading reports.
Thames Valley Police Slough said: ‘Further road closures will be in place around the M4 in Slough tomorrow morning while officers continue to investigate the unexplained death of a man.
