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.

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

Phase 3 works at Woodlands Road are ongoing and are expected to continue until Wednesday 12 August 2026.

Road closure update

From Tuesday 28 July to Friday 31 July 2026, overnight highway works will take place on Hazel Avenue, near Hazel Court. The works will be carried out each night between 8pm and 6am.

During these works, Hazel Avenue will be closed between the Hazel Court junction and the Woodlands Road roundabout. Residents will still be able to access Hazel Avenue and Hazel Court via Stoughton Road and Larch Avenue, as the left turn towards the Woodlands Road roundabout will be closed. A clearly signed diversion route will be in place. The road will reopen each morning once the overnight works have been completed.

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.
