A3 Trunk Road, Surrey and Hampshire - Temporary overnight closures due to maintenance and renewal work

A3 Trunk Road (Surrey And Hampshire)
Temporary Traffic Restrictions

Notice is hereby given that National Highways has made an Order on the A3 Trunk Road in the Counties of Surrey and Hampshire, under Sections 14(1)(a) and 14(1)(c) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 because works are proposed to be executed on, or in the vicinity of, the road.

The effect of the Order is to: -

1. authorise the overnight closure (in phases) of-
1. both carriageways of the A3 between Ockham Interchange (B2039/ B2215) and a point 500 metres north-west of the northern entry/ exit of Hindhead Tunnel, and all slip roads leading to and from those carriageways;
2. both carriageways of the A3 between the centreline of Hazel Grove Interchange (A333) and Horndean Interchange (A3(M) Junction 1), and all slip roads leading to and from those carriageways; and
3. Ham Barn roundabout (B3006).
2. authorise the overnight closure of any lay-by, bus stop or gap in the central reservation adjacent to the lengths of carriageway described in 1. above.

1. authorise the overnight closure of any side road at junction with the lengths of carriageway and Ham Barn roundabout described in 1. above.
2. authorise the phased overnight closure of both carriageways of the A3 between Hazel Grove Interchange (A333) and a point 500 metres north-west of the northern entry/exit of Hindhead Tunnel. A contra-flow system will be in operation on the carriageway that remains open. The slip road leading to the northbound carriageway of the A3 at Hazel Grove Interchange (A333) will be closed during northbound carriageway closures.

These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake maintenance and renewal work of a cyclical nature and A3 project works.

The duration of each closure will vary depending on the nature of the maintenance work being undertaken on each occasion. The programme of works will start on or after 2nd January 2025.

Any overnight closures on the A3 and connecting roads between Ockham Interchange and Horndean Interchange (other than Hindhead Tunnel – see below) will be in operation between 21:00 and 06:00 (maximum period). (The A3 Order extends into London at different hours not covered by this newspaper)

Any overnight closures and contraflow taking place on the A3 in Hindhead Tunnel will be in operation between 19:00 and 06:00 (maximum period).

Planned maintenance work will be scheduled to avoid disruption during known peak periods, although essential maintenance may be necessary during these periods to prevent the need for emergency works. Please see National Highways website for specific details on any upcoming closures.

The Order will come into force on 2nd January 2025 and shall remain in force until 24th December 2025.

During closures above, traffic affected will be diverted using other junctions of the A3, or the A246, A247, A25, A272, A31, A3100, A32, A320, A322, A325, B2039, B2070, B2171, B2215, B3000, B3002, B3004, B3006, B382, Bridge Road, Chillbrook Road, Downside Bridge Road, Downside Road, Forest Road, Horsley Road, Old Lane and the M27 (motorway designated traffic). The diversion in operation will vary according to the closure in force, and the diversion routes listed above are the agreed routes, but these may change depending on local conditions.

The temporary closures, contraflow, and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works periods.
