A high-severity road closure is scheduled to take place on road 505571, located near Guildford, from 21:00 on 27 July 2026 to 05:00 on 28 July 2026, as part of National Highways' Strategic Road Network maintenance. The closure, which is being carried out by National Highways, the highway authority responsible for the maintenance of the UK's major roads, is expected to cause significant disruptions to traffic in the area.

The closure is likely to affect a large number of drivers who use this route, and it is essential that they plan their journeys in advance to avoid delays. Drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the closure, and to check traffic apps such as Waze or Google Maps for the latest traffic updates before embarking on their journey. This will help to reduce congestion and minimise delays. Additionally, drivers can also check for updates on social media and traffic websites to stay informed about the latest developments.

National Highways is working to minimise the impact of the closure, and has planned the work to take place overnight to reduce the disruption to traffic. However, drivers should still expect significant delays, and should plan their journeys accordingly. The closure is a necessary part of the maintenance work that National Highways carries out to ensure that the UK's major roads are safe and well-maintained. By carrying out this work, National Highways is helping to reduce the risk of accidents and improve the overall safety of the road network.

Drivers who are planning to travel through the area during the closure are advised to leave extra time for their journey, and to consider using alternative modes of transport such as public transport. This will help to reduce the number of vehicles on the road, and will help to minimise the disruption caused by the closure.
