Improvements completed on the A31 through Surrey
A new sliproad and traffic lights have been installed to cut delays at a key junction
A project to cut congestion on the A31 heading through Surrey is now finished.
A new sliplane has been built for traffic joining eastbound from the A331 at Aldershot, removing the need to use the A331/A31 Runfold roundabout.
Traffic lights have also been installed close by to improve the flow of traffic and safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
Matt Furniss, Cabinet Member for Transport and Infrastructure said:“This is a well-known traffic hotspot which can cause significant delays during peak times.
“Surrey County Council took on this project and put in significant investment to ensure that this and another Guildford scheme on the A324, originally set up by Guildford Borough Council in 2018, could come to fruition and help reduce congestion in busy areas of our road network to benefit residents and others travelling through our county.
“I am delighted that these works have now been completed and ahead of time too.”
Funding for the project came from the Local Enterprise Partnership.
