Road Closure: EASTLANDS WAY — London

A major disruption is expected on Eastlands Way in Oxted, near London, as the road will be closed from 09 November 2026 at 00:00 to 20 November 2026 at 00:00. The closure, which has been classified as medium in terms of severity, is due to major works, specifically a PAA (Priority Asset Availability) project, and is being overseen by Surrey County Council, the highway authority responsible for the area. Drivers who regularly use Eastlands Way should plan their journeys in advance to avoid delays, and consider using alternative routes to minimise disruption.

The closure of Eastlands Way is likely to affect commuters and local residents, and Surrey County Council is advising drivers to check for updates on traffic conditions before setting out on their journeys. This can be done by using traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, which provide real-time information on road conditions and suggest alternative routes to avoid congestion. Additionally, drivers can tune into local radio stations for updates on traffic and road conditions, and follow Surrey County Council's social media accounts for the latest information on the closure.

During the closure, drivers are advised to use alternative routes, such as the A25 or the A22, to avoid the affected area. These routes may be busier than usual, so drivers should allow extra time for their journeys and be patient. Surrey County Council is working to minimise the disruption caused by the closure, and is implementing measures to reduce congestion and keep traffic flowing. The council is also working with local businesses and residents to mitigate the impact of the closure and ensure that the area remains accessible.

The closure of Eastlands Way is necessary to allow for major works to be carried out, and Surrey County Council is apologising for any inconvenience this may cause. The council is committed to completing the works as quickly as possible, and to reopening the road to traffic by 20 November 2026. In the meantime, drivers are advised to plan their journeys carefully and to follow the diversion signs that will be in place.
