Moorfield Junction Improvements

When is the work happening?

Works began on Wednesday 25 February 2026 and are expected to continue until early 2027. Construction is being delivered in phases to reduce disruption as much as possible. Timings may change depending on weather conditions and programme requirements.

About the project

The Moorfield Road junction is being upgraded to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and create safer, more accessible routes for people walking and cycling.

The scheme includes:

• A new northbound lane (Guildford towards Woking)
• Conversion of the existing northbound lane into a southbound lane (Woking towards Guildford)
• Two southbound approach lanes to improve access into Slyfield Industrial Estate
• A new signal-controlled pedestrian crossing
• Upgraded footways to strengthen connections to existing walking and cycling routes

Coordinated works with Woodlands Road

Works at Moorfield Road are being delivered at the same time as improvements at Woodlands Road junction so that new traffic signals can operate together. Coordinating both junctions will help prevent junctions from becoming blocked and improve traffic flow along this section of the A320. You can read more about the related works on the Woodlands Road Junction Improvements page.

Current status

Since works started initial enabling works have been completed. This includes installation of temporary footpaths and the removal of the existing roundabout layout at Woodlands Road.

Phase 2b works are still underway and include the construction of new footpaths and utility diversions. We are now preparing for the next stage of works at Woodlands Road (Phase 3).

About the design

These improvements are part of the wider Weyside Urban Village plans, which were shared with the public in 2020. The final designs has been carefully reviewed and approved by the Highways Authority to make sure it is safe and works well for everyone. Detailed plans are available showing how the roads and spaces will look once the work is complete. They are technical drawings showing the layout, position of key structures, and access routes.
