Major A-road which joins Britain's busiest motorway & is used by thousands every day to close for entire weekend
A MAJOR A-road which joins Britain's busiest motorway and is used by thousands every day is set to close for an entire weekend. Motorists have been urged to prepare for serious disruption as diversion routes have been put in place. 1 National Highways is closing the A3 in both directions this weekend in Surrey. The agency stated: "To help people plan their summer journeys, we're announcing all confirmed A3 weekend closures through to September in one go. "The next closure is scheduled for August 1 - 4, with a further weekend closure during September. "Each will involve restrictions on parts of the A3 near junction 10." The A-road will be shut between Junction 10 (Wisley Interchange) and the B2215/A247 at Send from 9pm on Friday, August 1 until 6am on Monday, August 4. Resurfacing of the road will be carried out and several gantries installed. Drivers have been advised to take diversion routes provided by National Highways and allow for extra travel time. There is also one more A3 closure planned after this weekend scheduled for Friday, September 12 until Monday, September 15. The A3 southbound carriageway between the A245 Painshill roundabout and Burnt Common will be shut. "We'll confirm diversion routes and share them ahead of the closure weekend, supported by web updates and local travel advice," National Highways said. T he A3 was previously shut in both directions in April leading to travel chaos. Drivers were unable to use the stretch between the M25 Junction 10 and A3 Wisley interchange due to the ongoing works. And drivers weren't able to enter or exit the M25 at Junction 10 in May after another weekend closure. The closures are part of the £317 million project to upgrade the A3/M25 interchange. The M25 junction 10 and A3 Wisley Interchange is the busiest section of the M25, with over 300,000 vehicles travelling through it every day. A statement from Surrey County Council's website reads: "Due to the volume of traffic and the resulting queues, this area has a very poor safety record and holds one of the highest collision rates across the National Highways network." "Their improvements will reduce delays, smooth traffic flow and create safer journeys for all." The ongoing works at junction 10 are due for completion in spring 2026. This has included several bridge demolitions and the building of new ones crossing the A3 and M25, connecting the four quadrants surrounding junction 10 for the first time. Environmental improvements are also being made to the area including the restoration of heathland and planting of new trees and woodland.
