Woodlands Road Junction Improvements

When is the work happening?

Works began on Wednesday 25 February 2026 and are expected to continue until early 2027. These works are subject to weather conditions and programme requirements.

The scheme is being delivered in phases to minimise disruption where possible.

Current status

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.

Project details

The existing priority roundabout at Woodlands Road is being 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

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.

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.
