Motorists advised plan ahead during Wisley Flower Show
We're expecting traffic to be heavier than normal this week
We're being advised to plan ahead this week as the Wisley Flower Show gets underway on Tuesday (5 September).
It's running from until Saturday (9 September) and we're expecting more traffic than normal on the M25 at junction 10, the A3 and other local roads.
National Highways senior project manager Jonathan Wade said:
“This historic flower show is a long-standing event in the region’s summer calendar, and with thousands of attendees we’re expecting extra vehicles on the road in and around the M25, A3 and surrounding routes.
“We have worked in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society and Surrey County Council to ensure any disruption is kept to a minimum. However, as with any large event I would encourage all motorists to check before they travel and leave extra time to complete their journeys.”
National Highways say during the event it will make temporary changes to the road layout on the A3 northbound to minimise disruption for motorists when leaving the flower show.
A temporary dedicated lane will be in use on the A3 northbound during peak periods (2pm-6pm) for vehicles exiting Wisley lane. This will allow vehicles to access the A3 more efficently as they continue their journey north to Painshill Junction or to the M25 J10 Interchange.
