The works will ensure there is extra capacity on the busy stretch of road between Chertsey and Ottershaw to unlock future housing sites. The works will make sure all the junctions and roads work well together to improve traffic flow. There will also be improvements for walkers and cyclists, including new crossing points and wider foot and cycle paths, and improved access to public transport.
It is planned for the works to be completed by spring Upgrading the A means approximately 3, new homes can be built across ten sites in Runnymede — a key component of the borough's recently approved Local Plan. The largest site, Longcross Garden Village, could provide at least 1, homes. After passing under the M25 and crossing over a couple of mini roundabouts, the road curves around the eastern edge of St. Peter's Hospital. Crossing over a roundabout, we reach the roundabout junction with St.
Peter's Way , the spur up to Junction 11 of the M25 , which may or may not be part of the A From here to the ambulance station in Ottershaw, both sides of the road are given over to the growth of Christmas trees. Crossing over the Ottershaw Roundabout , which is the junction of the A to Chobham, the A goes up a hill and then through a mile of woodland before reaching the Paragon Roundabout.
The Paragon, opened in , is the home of the McLaren F1 team. Another mile of straight road brings us to the Six Crossroads junction with the A in northern Woking. The A continues south into the centre of Woking, crossing the Basingstoke Canal just before reaching the centre of town. Bearing around to the right, the A is now a dual carriageway passing a new hotel, the New Victoria Theatre and 'The Peacocks' shopping mall before it curves around to the left at the junction with the A to Aldershot.
Heading out of Woking, the A is still fairly urban and residential for the next couple of miles. The A is met at the Turnoak Roundabout, and the road leaves town after the junction with the B at the Mayford Roundabout. The old A used to follow a more easterly routing here while the 'new' route goes straight across. Consequently this single-carriageway route, whilst fairly rural in character, is still prone to heavy congestion and still includes some dangerous, blind bends near Jacobswell.
After crossing over the 'Salt Box' roundabout, the A enters Guildford. Running along a 'relief road', built just to the west of the original route, the A crosses another roundabout and a bridge over the River Wey before reaching the junction with the northbound A3 at 'Stoke Mill'.
Running under the A3 and through a set of lights, we reach the 'Stoke Crossroads' junction with the A25 'Ladymead Parkway'. This junction used to be a notorious roundabout which locked up at least twice a week. It was replaced by lights in the early s and whilst it's still very congested, the situation is markedly better than it used to be.
After another half a mile, we pass the back entrance to the Royal Grammar School , and finally reach the end of the road, at the junction with North Street and the original A3 High Street.
The signage on this road is not very logical. For example, going northbound, there are some signs to Staines before you reach Chertsey and heading south, the same is true of Guildford and Woking.
