Road Closure: GUILDFORD ROAD — Reading

Motorists in the Reading area are being warned of a planned closure of Guildford Road in Bagshot, which will take place from 21:00 on 8 October 2026 to 05:00 on 9 October 2026. The closure, which is being carried out by Surrey County Council, is due to major works and is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Drivers who normally use Guildford Road are advised to plan alternative routes in advance to avoid delays.

The closure is part of a programme of works being undertaken by Surrey County Council to maintain and improve the road network in the area. While the work is being carried out, drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the closure. This may involve taking a detour via nearby roads, and drivers are advised to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out. By planning ahead and allowing extra time for their journeys, drivers can help to minimise the impact of the closure and reduce the risk of delays.

Surrey County Council is working to complete the works as quickly as possible, while also ensuring that the road is safe for all users. The council apologises for any inconvenience the closure may cause and appreciates the patience and understanding of drivers during this time. In the meantime, drivers can stay up to date with the latest traffic information by checking traffic apps and websites, which provide real-time information on traffic conditions and road closures.

It is also a good idea for drivers to check for updates on social media and to sign up for traffic alerts from Surrey County Council or other relevant organisations. By staying informed, drivers can plan their journeys more effectively and avoid the areas that are most likely to be affected by the closure. Additionally, drivers can consider using public transport or car-sharing to reduce the number of vehicles on the road and help to alleviate congestion.
