Woking Integrated Transport Project

Surrey County Council and Woking Borough Council will commence essential highway improvement works to Woking Town Centre on Monday 30 January 2017. This multi-million pound highway enhancement project will, when completed, significantly improve traffic flow in the area and make it safer for pedestrians and cyclists, whilst stimulating economic growth in Woking Town Centre.

The works, which begin on Monday 30 January 2017, will see:

• High Street and The Broadway (from Duke Street) become one-way to west-bound traffic only.
• No left turn from Victoria Way to Church Street West from Victoria Way to Cawsey Way/High Street.
• Create a new link road connecting High Street with Victoria Way.
• The closure of Church Street West and Cawsey Way to all traffic (from May 2017*).
• The relocation of the taxi rank from High Street to The Broadway.
• Improved bus facilities along High Street and The Broadway.
• The realignment of Chertsey Road to improve pedestrian and cycle connectivity.
• From May 2017*, an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order (ETRO) will be introduced along High Street that will restrict vehicle access, parking, loading and unloading.

It is anticipated that these highway works and associated changes to the road network will take several months, with completion expected later this year. There will be times when the necessary diversion routes will have an effect on residents’ movements, such as during utilities works.

Beginning at the junction between Locke Way and The Broadway on Monday 30 January 2017, the works will be phased to help minimise disruption to road users as outlined below.

Whilst these important works are carried out, it is necessary to make changes to existing bus routes and, where required, provide temporary bus stops. For more information about these changes, please visit www.surreycc.gov.uk/buses

Next steps

Residents and businesses will be affected in different ways, so it is important that you study the information below and if necessary, consider making alternative arrangements whilst the works continue.

The works are likely to cause disruption to local residents and businesses. However, both Surrey County Council and Woking Borough Council are fully committed to keeping disruption to a minimum in order to deliver significant highways improvements that will benefit everyone in Woking Borough.
