Section of the A3 to close over the weekend
National Highways has said the closure will be between the M25 Junction 10 and the Painshill Roundabout in Cobham, lasting from 21:00 BST on Friday until 06:00 on Monday.
The works include installing an overhead road sign holder, drainage work in the central reservation and installing trenches for technology across all lanes.
Diversions will be in place across the weekend.
The same section of the A3 will be closed again from 4 to 7 July, say National Highways.
The works are part of a project to ease congestion on the A3 and the Wisley Interchange and are due for completion in 2026.

Spotted: New McLaren Artura Variants Caught Testing
The McLaren Artura had a rough launch. The automaker delayed deliveries and paused production in 2023 to implement additional quality control procedures, with its CEO admitting the car wasn't ' mature .' Despite all that, it seems McLaren might be ready to give the plug-in hybrid supercar a few updates. A new video from the NCars YouTube channel shows the automaker testing two different camouflaged versions of the Artura. The first one shown in the video looks like the current car, but as it passes by the camera, a clear, plastic rear ducktail wing glistens in the sunlight. It's the only noticeable difference, but it could be an indication that McLaren is developing a Longtail variant. The company has said it has no plans to launch additional models below the Artura . The other camouflage car shown appears to have an incomplete hood vent. There's a missing section of the hood where the front trunk should be, which resembles a cutout for a Lego piece or some hardcore bespoke luggage set. This car also featured additional camouflage along the rear window, but the video never shows what McLaren was trying to hide. It's unclear whether the company is preparing a new Artura variant or introducing several minor tweaks to the current car. Any updates could coincide with changes to the powertrain. The Artura on sale today makes 690 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 hybrid powertrain. Either way, McLaren is clearly testing something new for the model, and we likely won't have to wait long to see the results. Here's More From McLaren: The McLaren 765LT Proves Why the 'Longtail' Name Is So Special McLaren Is Milking Its Le Mans History Again.

New A3 Report Signals Steady Automation Investment in First Half of 2025
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The North American robotics industry continued to build momentum in the first half of 2025. New data from the Association for Advancing Automation (A3) shows robot orders increased by 4.3% and revenue rose 7.5% compared to the first half of 2024, a promising sign for continued automation investment amid a complex economic landscape. Cobots made up nearly one in four robots sold in Q2 2025. Automotive Leads First-Half Gains, with Support from Life Sciences and Plastics North American companies ordered 17,635 robots valued at $1.094 billion in the first six months of 2025. Automotive OEMS led industry growth with a 34% year-over-year increase in units ordered. Other top-performing segments included plastics and rubber (+9%) and life sciences/pharma/biomed (+8%), reflecting broader trends like reshoring, labor shortages, and the push for greater operational efficiency. Life Sciences and Electronics Drive Q2 Growth In Q2 alone, companies ordered 8,571 robots worth $513 million, marking a 9.0% increase in units over Q2 2024. Life sciences/pharma/biomed posted the strongest sector growth in the quarter (+22%), followed by semiconductors/electronics/photonics (+18%) and steady gains in plastics, automotive components, and general industry. 'The continued growth in robot orders underscores what we've been hearing from our members: automation is now central to long-term business strategy,' said Alex Shikany, Executive Vice President at A3. 'It's not just about efficiency anymore. It's about building resilience, improving flexibility, and staying competitive in a rapidly changing global market. If these patterns hold, the North American robotics market could outperform 2024 levels by mid-single digit growth rates by the end of the year.' Collaborative Robots Show Rising Influence Collaborative robots (cobots) accounted for a growing share of the market with 3,085 units ordered in the first half of 2025, valued at $114 million. In Q2 alone, cobots made up 23.7% of all units and 14.7% of revenue. These systems are increasingly favored for their ability to work safely alongside humans and address automation needs in space- or labor-constrained environments. A3 began tracking cobots as a distinct category in 1Q 2025 and plans to expand future reporting to include growth trends by sector. Automotive vs. Non-Automotive Sectors in Q2 The non-automotive sector took the lead over automotive in Q2, accounting for 56% of total units ordered. This move reflects the expanding role of automation in industries such as life sciences, electronics, and other non-automotive manufacturing sectors.
