Moorfield Junction Improvements

When is the work happening?

Works began on Wednesday 25 February 2026 and will take a year to complete.

Project details

The Moorfield Road junction will be upgraded to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and enhance pedestrian safety.

The improvements include:

• A new northbound lane (Guildford towards Woking)
• Conversion of the existing northbound lane to a southbound lane (Woking towards Guildford)
• Two southbound lanes approaching the junction to ease turning into Slyfield Industrial Estate
• A new signal-controlled pedestrian crossing
• Upgraded footways to improve connections to existing walking and cycling route

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.
