Work at two junctions on Woking Road will begin on Wednesday 25 February 2026.

  • Woodlands Road junction
  • Moorfield Road junction

These highways improvements are part of the wider Weyside Urban Village regeneration programme.

They are designed to

  • to improve traffic flow
  • reduce congestion
  • enhance safety

Why we're working on both junctions at the same time?

Both junctions are being upgraded at the same time so the new traffic signals can work together. This approach will help:

  • reduce exit blocking
  • ease congestion
  • improve journey reliability along this section of Woking Road.

  • A new northbound lane towards Woking will be added.
  • The existing northbound lane will be converted to another southbound lane.
  • Two southbound lanes approaching the junction to ease turning into Slyfield Industrial Estate
  • A new signal-controlled pedestrian crossing will also be installed
  • Upgraded footways will improve safety and provide better connections with existing walking and cycling routes.

Traffic management measures

  • The scheme will be delivered in phases.
  • Starting first with the removal of the Woodlands Road roundabout.
  • This work will take place at night from Tuesday 2 March for around six weeks.
  • A lane closure will be in place overnight for safety.
  • The lane closure will be lifted each morning to minimise disruption to daytime traffic.

Winvic Construction Ltd is carrying out the work on our behalf. We expect the works to take approximately 12 months, subject to weather conditions.

Councillor Vanessa King, Lead Councillor for Economy and Place said:

"These improvements are another vital step in preparing the local road network for the Weyside Urban Village regeneration scheme. The new layouts will future‑proof the network for new homes and community facilities, while also helping to manage current traffic more effectively. Being committed to becoming a more environmentally responsible borough, we're also placing strong emphasis on creating safer, more accessible routes for pedestrians and cyclists.

"The Slyfield Industrial Estate is a major economic and commercial hub for Guildford, so improving access is essential for supporting local businesses. By delivering the works in carefully planned phases and managing traffic thoughtfully, we can keep the programme running safely while minimising disruption for residents, businesses and commuters.

"This project is ultimately about preparing the area for the exciting transformation ahead and ensuring that the right access is in place as new homes, infrastructure and facilities come forward."
