A3 Trunk Road (Surrey) Temporary Traffic Restrictions

Notice is hereby given that National Highways has made an Order on the A3 Trunk Road in the Counties of Surrey and Hampshire, under Sections 14(1)(a) and 14(1)(c) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 because works are proposed to be executed on the road. The effect of the Order is to: -

1. authorise the overnight closure, in phases, of both carriageways of the A3 between Hook Underpass (A309) and Ockham Interchange (B2039/ B2215), and all slip and link roads leading to and from this length.

2. authorise the overnight closure of any lay-by, bus stop or gap in the central reservation adjacent to the lengths of carriageway described in 1. above.

3. authorise the overnight closure of any side road at junction with the lengths of carriageway described in 1. above.

These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake maintenance and renewal work of a cyclical nature and A3 project works.

The duration of each closure will vary depending on the nature of the maintenance work being undertaken on each occasion. The programme of works will start on or after 3rd January 2023.

Planned maintenance work will be scheduled to avoid disruption during known peak periods, although essential maintenance may be necessary during these periods to prevent the need for emergency works. In such cases less disruptive options will be considered.

Overnight closures taking place on the A3 and connecting roads between Hook Underpass and Ockham Interchange will be in operation between (maximum period):
Monday - Thursdays 22:00 - 05:30 Fridays 23:00 - 06:00

Saturdays 22:00 - 06:00

Sundays 22:30 - 05:30

(The A3 Order extends to Horndean not covered by this newspaper) The Order will come into force on 2nd January 2023 and shall remain in force until 24th December 2023.

During closures above, traffic affected will be diverted using other junctions of the A3, or the A243, A244, A245, A246, A247, A25, A320, A322, B2039, B2070, B2171, B2215, B382, Bridge Road, Chillbrook Road, Downside Bridge Road, Downside Road, Forest Road, Horsley Road, and Old Lane. The diversion in operation will vary according to the closure in force, and the diversion roads listed above are the agreed routes, but these may change depending on local conditions. The temporary closures and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works periods.
