Bray Interchange was the former junction 8 of the M4, demolished in 1971.

The junction, a LILO, was built as part of the Maidenhead bypass, providing access to the A308. When the M4 was extended, it was deemed too close to the tie-in junction and was removed. To replace the link to the A308, the A308(M) was born.

Little trace of the southern half of the junction remains today, as development and motorway widening have eradicated most of the evidence. The northern half, however, is in use as Bray Court Depot of the National Highways although its access from the motorway has been removed and its direct connection with the A308 has been modified to form part of Priors Way. The junction of Priors Way and A308 Windsor Road is in the original location of the sliproad.
