UK Road Closed: National Highways

Motorists are advised to plan their journeys carefully as a section of a major route in Surrey will be closed overnight due to essential maintenance work. The closure is scheduled to take place on the A3 near Guildford, with the affected section located near the National Highways Closure — 445924.

The work, which is part of the National Highways Strategic Road Network, is expected to start at 21:00 on August 6th and run until 04:30 on August 7th. During this time, the section of the A3 will be closed, causing significant disruption to drivers. National Highways is responsible for maintaining the country's strategic road network, and this work is essential to ensuring the road remains safe and fit for purpose.

Drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid the area during the closure, as the road will be fully closed with no access for traffic. Motorists are encouraged to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information on the road conditions and plan their journeys accordingly. The highway authority is working to minimize the disruption, but drivers should be prepared for delays.

The A3 is a major route that connects London to Portsmouth, and the closure will have a significant impact on drivers who use the road regularly. Motorists who rely on the A3 for their daily commute or to travel through the area are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to consider using alternative modes of transport where possible.

National Highways is working to complete the maintenance work as quickly and safely as possible, and the road is expected to reopen by 04:30 on August 7th. However, drivers should be aware that the road may be subject to further closures in the coming weeks and months as part of the ongoing maintenance programme.

Motorists who need to travel through the area during the closure are advised to check the latest information on the National Highways website or to follow the authority on social media for updates on the road conditions.
