Surrey’s major motorway and A-road closures as M3 weekend works loom

Disruptive roadworks will be taking place on many of Surrey’s major motorways and A-roads this week which drivers will need to be aware of. This includes a full closure of the M3 in both directions between junction 3 and junction 4 from 9pm on Friday, December 8 until 6am on Monday, December 11.

During this time, the footbridge over the M3 in Bagshot is to be demolished after a recent structural survey of the bridge raised urgent safety concerns. Drivers will need to follow diversion routes while this closure is in effect, the full details of which can be found here ^[1] .

Meanwhile, link road closures will also impact the likes of the A3 and the M25 ^[2] throughout the week. Closures usually occur between 9pm to 6am or 11pm to 8am to minimise disruption.

As such, those looking to travel late at night or early in the morning could see their journey disrupted or may need to follow diversion routes. For the full list of closures this week, see below.
