Meadrow Closed: Godalming Roadworks

Motorists in the Godalming area are advised to plan their journeys carefully due to an urgent roadworks event on Meadrow, which began on August 13, 2026, at 7:41 am. The roadworks, managed by Surrey County Council, are expected to last until 10:59 pm on August 17, 2026. Travelers from nearby Reading may be particularly affected by this disruption.

A section of Meadrow will be closed to facilitate the urgent works, which are classified as medium severity. Drivers are urged to use alternative routes to avoid the area or allow extra time for their journeys. Surrey County Council has announced the road closure to minimize any inconvenience to residents and commuters alike. The roadworks are part of a larger programme of maintenance and improvement works along the A3 corridor.

Motorists are advised to check traffic and travel updates regularly, as the situation may change rapidly. Checking traffic apps and websites such as Road Closures UK can provide up-to-date information on road conditions and journey times. Furthermore, drivers can adjust their routes to avoid the closed section of Meadrow by using online route planners or GPS devices.

The roadworks are expected to cause some disruption to traffic in the area, particularly during peak travel times. However, Surrey County Council has assured that the works will be completed as quickly and safely as possible. The council has also encouraged residents and commuters to be patient and plan their journeys accordingly.

For those traveling from Reading or surrounding areas, it's recommended to plan your route in advance, using alternative roads such as the A3 or A31 to reach your destination. Motorists can also consider using public transport or walking or cycling where possible. However, drivers may need to use Meadrow to access certain areas, so it's essential to be aware of the road closure and plan accordingly.

In addition to checking traffic updates, drivers are advised to follow all traffic signs and directions provided by the highway authorities. Surrey County Council will work to minimize any disruption to traffic and ensure that the roadworks are completed safely and efficiently.
