Further to the Notice posted on this Website on 18th June, Surrey County Council have passed on the following advance notice of weekend and night works taking place on Walton Bridge next week:

As the new bridge is nearing completion and will open to traffic in the coming weeks, there will be some night works taking place between 15 July and 22 July 2013.

On Monday 15 July between 20:00 and 06:00, the following morning, Costain will be installing a new service across the A244 at the junction of New Zealand Avenue/Oatlands Drive using four-way temporary traffic lights. No roads will be closed but delays may be expected due to the permanent traffic signals being switched off. 

Starting on Tuesday 16 July 2013 for three nights there will be overnight closures of the A244 across Walton Bridge between the junction of New Zealand Avenue/Oatlands Drive through to the junction of Russell Road/Fordbridge Road (Marshalls Roundabout) to facilitate the construction of the tie ins between the existing A244 and the new road across the newly constructed bridges. The closures will be in place between 20:00 and 06:00 each night with a fully signed diversion route via Hampton Court bridge. Access for emergency vehicles and residents within the closure will be provided when safe to do so.

Between 20:00 on Friday 19 July and 06:00 on Monday 22 July 2013, Walton Lane (Walton side) will be closed between the junction with the A244 Walton Bridge and the Cowey Sale car park entrance nearest to the A244. This closure is required to construct the new road that will connect with the re-aligned A244 that will cross the newly constructed bridge. A local signed diversion route will be in place throughout this period using Bridge Street, Oatlands Drive, Monument Hill, Monument Green, Thames Street and Walton Lane or vice versa. The Cowey Sale car park and Cafe will remain open as normal though access will be via the diversion route. Due to the nature and extent of the works access for emergency vehicles and residents will only be via the diversion route as well.

All above dates and times are subject to operational and weather constraints.
