Godalming Road Closed: Charterhouse Rd

Drivers in the Godalming area are advised to plan their journeys in advance due to an urgent roadworks operation on Charterhouse Road, which is set to cause significant disruption for the next four days. The Surrey County Council-led works commenced on 13 August 2026 at 15:26 and are expected to conclude by 17 August 2026 at 15:26.

Located near Reading, Charterhouse Road will be affected by the roadworks, with drivers encouraged to exercise caution and consider alternative routes to avoid potential traffic congestion. Motorists are advised to check for updates on their preferred traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for the latest information on traffic conditions in the area.

As the road is closed, drivers may need to take diversions, which could result in increased journey times. Motorists are advised to allow for additional time when travelling through the area and to be prepared for potential delays. Those planning to use Charterhouse Road during the roadworks period are urged to consider alternative modes of transport, such as public transport or cycling, where feasible.

Those who rely on Charterhouse Road for their daily commute are advised to make arrangements for alternative travel arrangements, such as car-sharing or using public transport, to mitigate the impact of the disruption. Additionally, drivers may wish to consider postponing non-essential journeys until the roadworks are completed.

It's worth noting that Surrey County Council will be working to keep the road open for as long as possible, but the urgent nature of the works necessitates the road closure. The council will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates to the public as necessary.
