Section of the A3 to close all weekend

A section of a main road in Surrey is set to be closed in both directions on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

The A3 will be closed between Junction 10 (Wisley interchange) and the A245 Painshill Roundabout from 21:00 BST on Friday until 06:00 on Monday.

The closure is being rolled out amid ongoing works at the busiest section of the M25 which involve widening the A3 where it meets the motorway.

Jonathan Wade, the agency's senior project manager, said: "As we approach the very final stages of our work on the M25, we are also stepping up our efforts to improve the A3.

"We have already installed all of the eight bridges and a dozen new gantries on the carriageway, as well as carrying out plenty of vital environmental work.

"We thank drivers and the local community for their patience and ask anyone travelling during these times to plan their journeys carefully."

Full details of diversions are available here.

A further two weekend closures, one in August and one in September, will involve restrictions on parts of the A3 near junction 10.
