A3 weekend closure confirmed in Surrey

Major roadworks will hinder traffic flow along the A3 this weekend.

Weekend closure of A3 in Surrey disrupts travel plans

A key section of the A3 in Surrey will be completely closed in both directions from Friday evening until Monday morning due to roadworks. This work involves installing gantries and resurfacing the road, as stated by National Highways. The closure affects traffic traveling south from Junction 10 (Wisley interchange) to the B2215/A247 at Burnt Common. Similar roadworks took place last month, further complicating travel plans in the area during the busy summer season.

These ongoing roadworks on the A3 are part of larger improvements aimed at easing congestion where the road intersects with the M25. While the enhancements may lead to long-term benefits, they pose significant short-term challenges for drivers. With two closures occurring in quick succession, local commuters and travelers may feel increasingly frustrated. There is a risk that this could lead to negative public perception of the planning and execution of these projects. As traffic disruptions continue, more clarity on future roadwork schedules and communication from authorities may help mitigate issues for affected drivers.

Highlights

As roadwork continues, smoother traffic flow could be on the horizon, but driver patience is crucial during this transition.
