HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORT

Woodlands Road Junction Improvements

As part of the ongoing regeneration of Weyside Urban Village, highways improvement works will be taking place at the Woodlands Road junction on the A320 Woking Road.

Works are scheduled to begin on Wednesday 25 February 2026.

Project details

The existing priority roundabout at Woodlands Road will be converted into a signalised junction.  This improvement will:

• Better manage and coordinate traffic movements
• Work in conjunction with the nearby Moorfield Road junction
• Improve overall traffic flow
• Reduce delays along this section of Woking Road
• Improve journey reliability

Coordinated works with Moorfields Junction.

Works at Woodlands Road junction are being delivered at the same time as improvements at Moorfields 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 Moorfields junction improvements page.
