Use our holiday journey planner to check traffic predictions before you leave.

Every holiday period and long weekend we see large numbers of people heading out of the main centres to popular holiday destinations and this can cause queues and delays.

To help alleviate these problems we recommend planning your travel well in advance and travelling outside the busiest periods. To make this easier for you, we’ve created an interactive traffic prediction map for holiday periods. The map shows when we expect traffic to be heavy based on travel patterns from previous years.

Electric vehicle charging stations must meet certain requirements to be listed on this map. Find out more about the requirements and the nationwide network of public charging stations. Charging station details are based on information provided by the charging station operators.  Read the full disclaimer .

The Best Road Trip Apps That Help You Find Cheap Gas, Avoid Traffic, and More

Download these before you hit the highway.

Technology has revolutionized the way we travel in countless ways. Paper maps and GPS navigation systems have been replaced by Google and Apple Maps, old-school CDs by music streaming services, and guidebooks by apps that can notify road-trippers of roadside attractions in real time. One thing is certain: the smartphone has made road trips infinitely easier and, arguably, cheaper.

Whether you need a digital road trip planner to map out your next journey or something to help you avoid traffic jams, here are 11 of the best road trip apps to download ahead of your next adventure.

Roadtrippers

Roadtrippers is one of the most practical and popular road trip planning apps out there. Maybe you want to see national parks or the quirkiest roadside attractions. Perhaps you want to stop for the night at an iconic or underrated hotel. You can plan your stops right in the app, adding up to three waypoints for free or 150 with a Roadtrippers Premium account. There are also Basic and Pro memberships that allot you 20 and 50 waypoints per trip, respectively. The higher-tier memberships allow you to collaborate with friends and family and use navigation. The app features lodging, sights, outdoorsy destinations, restaurants, activities, shopping, fuel, and more all around the U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The app is free, but you have to upgrade to a membership plan to enjoy all the bells and whistles. The Basic plan costs $40 a year, the Pro plan $50 a year, and the Premium $60 a year. It's available on iOS and Android .

Google Maps

Every road-tripper needs a trusty navigation app in their arsenal, and Google Maps is consistently one of the most — if not the most — downloaded in the U.S. every year. Its dominance can be attributed to how comprehensive its data is, which allows it to generate the very best directions based on distance, road conditions, and traffic patterns.

Google Maps gives you route options and provides accurate estimates of how long it takes to get from A to B. Plus, you can plot several waypoints along your route — be it a mid-morning coffee stop or a hotel for overnighting (you can see reviews right in the app).

Google Maps is free and available on iOS and Android .

Waze is another one of the top navigation apps. With real-time updates that help you avoid traffic jams, construction, and more, it will have you navigating new cities and unfamiliar streets like a seasoned local. It's perhaps a little more proactive than Google Maps in changing up a route when problems arise, and that means Waze users should prepare for their drive to be a little unpredictable.

No one wants to spend hours sitting in traffic instead of exploring, so the fact that Waze collects data from other drivers to streamline the driving experience is a huge help. The app is free and available on iOS and Android .

Paying for fuel can eat up a good chunk of your road trip budget, but GasBuddy can save you a few bucks. The app crowdsources up-to-date fuel prices for more than 150,000 gas stations around the U.S. and Canada. The app also tells you how recent the submission is so you know whether it's outdated.

GasBuddy is not just helpful for finding cheap gas but also for finding gas stations in general (and parking), which can be difficult in foreign territory. The app is free and can be downloaded on iOS and Android . While using it, be a good road-tripper and submit gas prices you see as you travel.

Roadside America

The offbeat and kitschy roadside attractions you can find throughout the U.S. are often some of the most delightful parts of a road trip. The Roadside America app helps you find the most unique attractions worth stopping for, like the large sculpture of a cartoon mouse holding a cheese platter in Plain, Wisconsin — where else? — or the decidedly odd larger-than-life-sized three-way electrical plug that rests on a lawn in Philadelphia. The app features museums, murals, tours, quirky restaurants, and photo ops.

Roadside America costs $3 to download, which gets you access to one region in the app. You can purchase more regions for $2 or get access to all of the U.S. and Canada for an extra $7. The app is available only on iOS .

iExit Interstate Exit Guide

Knowing where to stop for road trip snacks, a drive-through latte, or a public restroom can be challenging with all the exit signs whizzing by at 70 mph, but iExit Interstate Exit Guide takes the guesswork out of it. The app will list which exits are coming up on your route, what's there, and what they offer — including food, lodging, fuel, and even hospitals. It pulls fuel prices from OPIS (the Oil Price Information Service) and displays Yelp reviews for businesses.

The app is free to download. Find it on both iOS and Android .

HotelTonight

Even if you've planned out all your stops ahead of time, you might find that you need to pull over for a night unexpectedly. Driving is tiring, and unplanned naps can be life-saving. HotelTonight can help you find accommodations in a pinch. The app offers day-of deals on unsold rooms, and the user-friendly interface means you can book a discounted room in minutes. There are well over 1,000 properties to choose from in cities all over the world, from Mexico City to Jakarta (in case you happen to take your road-tripping global).

It's free to download and available on iOS and Android .

If staying in a tucked-away A-frame cabin, a yurt, or a private guest house in someone's garden is more your travel style than bouncing between hotels, then Airbnb is the ticket. On the Airbnb app, you can search properties (millions in the U.S. alone) on a map and read reviews before you book, which you can do in advance or at the last minute.

The app features not just vacation homes but also activities, so if you're keen to experience a city like a local you can do so via a pottery class or a guided walking tour, for example.

The Airbnb app is free. You can download it on iOS or Android .

Travelers who dream of camping out under the stars should download The Dyrt , a free app that helps you find tent, RV, and cabin sites across the U.S. One of the top camping apps on iOS and Android , it has more than a million registered users who submit reviews, pictures, and tips. On The Dyrt, you get real intel on campsites and a built-in community that makes camping on a road trip especially fun and safe. You can even book some of the campsites right on app.

The app is free, but there's a premium version for $36 a year that allows you to plan trips and search campsites while offline — convenient for remote regions.

What is a road trip without a perfect playlist? Whether you're keen to create a soundtrack of nostalgic singalongs, modern pop songs, or music inspired by your destination, you'll find even the most obscure tunes on Spotify , a catalog of more than 100 million tracks. When you tire of Taylor Swift, you can turn to podcasts or an audiobook to keep you company. Road trips are a great opportunity to delve into a docuseries like "Serial," an all-time favorite.

Spotify is free to download and listen to, but the ad breaks are annoying and streaming can chew through your phone data. A better option is to purchase a premium membership for $11 a month. It's ad-free and you can download music to listen to offline. The Spotify app is available on iOS and Android .

Electric vehicles are increasingly commonplace and great for more environmentally friendly road-tripping. The problem is often finding charging stations, as most EVs can go 100 to 300 miles before they need to be plugged in. PlugShare lists 700,000 charging stations across North America, Europe, and beyond. Users share their reviews of the stations, helping to guide EV drivers to the best, fastest, and most reliable charging spots.

PlugShare is free and available to download on iOS and Android .

Road Transport Safety: Journey Management Plan

• Post author By FATFINGER
• Post date October 24, 2022

A journey management plan is a system of safety measures followed during a road transport journey, especially one that involves driving for more than 4 hours. The programs are designed to identify and counteract risks such as driver fatigue, hazardous roadway conditions, and other obstacles.

By having a formalized journey management plan, industries can demonstrate their commitment to driver safety, protecting employees, and avoiding costly fines.

Table of Contents: 1.Journey Management and Its Importance 2.Challenges of Traditional Journey Management Plan 3.4 Components of a Journey Management Plan 4. Digital Journey Management Plan in Place- Your Way to Safety

Journey Management and Its Importance

A journey management plan is a critical tool for managing the transportation of goods throughout the supply chain. Providing a clear overview of the journey, allows the journey to be monitored and controlled more effectively, which can lead to substantial benefits in terms of cost, efficiency, and, most importantly, safety.

According to the National Safety Council’s 2017 study , crashes cost employers approximately $9.25 billion annually across all industries.

Moreover, research shows that human error is the root cause of accidents 70% of the time and is likely the cause 93% of the time.

A journey management plan is a tool used to increase safety visibility and control over the journey of goods. In particular,

1. Reduce transportation costs. By optimizing routes and schedules, journey management plans can help reduce the time and fuel required for travel. 2. Improve communication between different parties involved in transporting goods or persons . The journey management plan sets out the roles and responsibilities of each party, as well as the routes to be taken and the resources to be used. By clearly defining the roles and responsibilities of each party, the journey management plan helps to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that there is no confusion about who is responsible for what. 3. Helps drivers to navigate the roads safely and efficiently . By taking into account the specific route, weather conditions, and traffic patterns, journey management plans can help to reduce the risk of accidents and delays. In addition, journey management plans can also help to improve safety and security by reducing the risk of accidents and delays. As a result, journey management plans are an essential tool for any company that relies on the efficient transportation of goods. Providing drivers with an up-to-date journey management plan can help ensure that everyone arrives at their destination safely and on time.

Challenges of Traditional Journey Management Plan

Journey management plans (JMPs)  help ensure that employees are aware of the risks associated with their travel and have a plan in place in an emergency. Traditional journey management plans have long relied on paper-based checklists to ensure that all tasks are completed before beginning a trip. There are several disadvantages to using paper-based checklists, which can cause pain points throughout supply chain logistics. 1. Paper-based checklists are often misplaced or lost, which can cause confusion and delay in the event of an emergency. 2. Inaccurate paper-based checklists can lead to shipment delays, incorrect stocking levels, and other operational issues. Paper-based checklists also make it difficult to track progress and identify errors.  3. Paper-based checklists are challenging to update promptly, leading to employees being unaware of new or changed risks.

4. Paper-based checklists do not allow for real-time collaboration, making it challenging to coordinate a response in the event of an emergency.

Newer technologies, such as digital checklists in journey management, offer a more efficient and effective way to manage employee travel. Digital checklists  can be easily updated in real time and shared with all team members automatically.

4 Components of a Journey Management Plan

Any journey, no matter how short, should be planned carefully to ensure safety. A journey management plan is a simple way to do this, and there are four key components: route selection, pre-trip planning, en-route monitoring, and post-trip debriefing. 

1. Route Selection. Choose the safest route possible. This means taking into account things like weather conditions, road closures, and construction. If multiple routes are available, the one with the least risk should be chosen.  Route optimization is finding the most efficient way to get from point A to point B. This can be done using various methods, including GPS, Google Maps, and even old-fashioned paper maps . The goal is to find the shortest, most direct route possible. Of course, this isn’t always possible (or even desirable). Hence, route optimization also considers traffic patterns, construction, weather conditions, and other factors that could impact the journey. 

2.Pre-trip Planning. Once the route has been selected, it’s time to plan a pre-trip. This includes checking the vehicle for maintenance issues, packing an emergency kit, and letting others know the expected arrival time. A vehicle inspection checklist can help to ensure that vehicles are in good working order and meet safety standards.

3.Enroute Monitoring. Once on the road, it’s important to monitor conditions and be prepared to change the route if necessary. This may mean rerouting around traffic jams or accidents. It’s also essential to stop for breaks and stay aware of changing conditions.  Enroute monitoring is vital because it allows organizations to manage risks proactively and respond quickly in the event of an emergency. 

4. Post-trip debriefing. This allows organizations to learn from past travel experiences and adjust plans accordingly. By identifying what went well and what could be improved upon, organizations can make changes that will help to reduce the risks associated with the trip. In addition, post-trip debriefing provides an opportunity for the driver and his companion to share feedback about their travel experiences, which can help improve the overall quality of the journey management process.

Each component is vital in creating a safe and successful journey management plan. Considering all four components before setting out on any transport network can help ensure that our travels are optimized for safety, efficiency, and cost.

Fun things to do along Australia's Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road, spanning over 240 kilometers along the southeastern coast of Australia , connects Victoria's surf towns and lush rainforests with iconic landmarks such as the Twelve Apostles. This route offers travelers a unique mix of adventure, natural beauty, and cultural experiences. It's an essential journey for those wanting to explore the diverse landscapes and rich history of the region.

Plan your coastal adventure

Before you start your Great Ocean Road trip, plan your stops carefully. Include Bells Beach for those who love to surf, the peaceful Erskine Falls, and the Cape Otway Lightstation with its rich history. Give yourself enough time at each spot to truly enjoy their unique beauty. This approach ensures a relaxed pace as you journey through the stunning scenery of this coastal route.

Discover natural wonders

The Great Ocean Road is renowned for its Twelve Apostles limestone stacks and the historic Loch Ard Gorge. Embark on a guided tour of Maits Rest Rainforest Trail to experience the region's ancient plant life. Alternatively, explore Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve's volcanic landscape to observe wildlife in their natural setting. These natural attractions are highlights of the scenic coastal journey.

Engage with local culture

Visit Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village in Warrnambool to delve into Australia's seafaring past or immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture at Brambuk National Park & Cultural Centre in Halls Gap. These destinations provide a deep understanding of the maritime history and indigenous heritage that have significantly influenced the region. They are essential for appreciating the area's cultural fabric on your Great Ocean Road journey.

Relaxation by seaside towns

Apollo Bay and Lorne, nestled along the Great Ocean Road, boast peaceful beaches for relaxation. Post-drive, these towns invite you to savor the calm. With local cafes offering delightful tastes and artisan shops displaying unique crafts, they provide a restful pause. Here, you can unwind by the sea, finding serenity amidst your road trip adventures. These spots are perfect for a tranquil seaside retreat.

Our closures

There are no planned weekend closures over the Easter break, in April or the May Bank Holiday Weekends.

Our next large scale full weekend closures are currently scheduled for between May and the end of the year.

Scroll down to the 'Upcoming Closures' section for more details of over-night closures coming up immediately after Easter. 

More milestones

Progress continues on all parts of the project which you can see from this photo. Our ‘jet lanes’ (the lanes that will form our free flow left turns) are particularly taking shape.

Work will shortly resume on the A245 Byfleet Road between the Seven Hills Road junction and A3 Painshill interchange. Initially this will reduce the road to a single lane in each direction while we carry out some major drainage work in the central reservation. Work in the area is expected to last until the autumn and we must warn you there will be additional traffic congestion in the area as a result.

Road worker abuse

You may have seen us mentioned on BBC news again recently as part of a story about road worker abuse. Sadly, last year alone, over 600 incidents were recorded by our contractors, Balfour Beatty across the projects they work on. The BBC came to see us to talk about the scale of the problem.

Sadly, these are the facts:

• One in ten workers have been subjected to physical abuse in the past year.
• In 2021, within Balfour Beatty alone, two thirds of workers had been verbally abused by passing motorists.
• Worse still, 1 in 5 road workers have reported having missiles thrown at them in the past year.

Easter fun and reading time

Away from the road, and on a more positive note, members of our Balfour Beatty team took a few hours off the road to help out at local primary school St. Mary’s in Byfleet this month. They made light work of installing two beautiful reading ‘pods’ that form a ‘Peaceful Place’ where children can read and learn away from the school building.

In the run up to Easter we've also been working with local charities on an Easter egg appeal and donated some 200 eggs to Guildford Action, Cobham Area Foodbank, and the YMCA Guildford.

This type of community work is really important to us and we look forward to doing more in the coming months.

In the meantime, wishing everyone a happy Easter. Don't forget to s croll down to the 'Upcoming Closures' section for more details of over-night closures coming up immediately after Easter. 

Bridge demolished and new gantry in place

On an eerily quiet M25 we finished our work eight hours ahead of schedule and were able to reopen the motorway at 10pm tonight (Sunday 17 March). 

We know many people changed plans and amended their journeys and we'd like to thank everyone who had to make different arrangements due to our work.  

We will announce the date of our next closure as soon as we can.

More details about our M25 closure

Last weekend we closed the A3 for a full weekend and demolished two bridges.

Our next weekend closure will be for more demolition work, this time on the M25.

It means the M25 between junctions 10 and 11 will be closed in both directions from 9pm on Friday 15 to 6am Monday 18 March.

Diversion routes

The local diversion route below will be in place which is the same for both directions:

• Junction 10 -  Junction 11: North bound A3 to Painshill Junction, A245 towards Woking, and then A320 to M25 Junction 11.
• Junction 11 -  Junction 10: A320 south towards Woking, A245 towards Byfleet and Painshill junction, Southbound A3 to Junction 10.

Taking the M25 in the other direction to avoid our closure is also an option.

Either way, if you do travel, please leave a lot of extra time for your journey.

We carefully plan all our closures to limit disruption, but sometimes it's not possible to carry out all the work that's needed without a closure. We have planned all our closures to avoid holiday periods and key events in the area.

The work needs to be carried out now to continue the good progress on the delivery of the scheme which is due to open to traffic next summer.

Announcing our next big closures

Last weekend we completed Sandpit Hill bridge, the third of our eight bridges.

It will be a few weeks before the bridge can be used as we still need to surface it, build the approach embankments and create the routes leading between Ockham Common, the bridge itself and Chatley Wood. Check back on this web page for when the bridge is available for use.

We're now moving to a phase of work that involves some significant closures of the A3 and the M25.

Our next closure is on:

  Friday 15 March 9pm to Monday 18 March 6am  the M25 between junction 10 and 11 in both directions, for demolition works and gantry installation.

Completion of our third bridge

This weekend sees the completion of the third of our eight bridges, which is Sandpit Hill bridge that will link Painshill to Ockham Common. At 91 metres long, this will be the longest bridge we will install on the project, and it will cross the M25 to the east of junction 10.

Sandpit Hill bridge is for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders to safely travel between Ockham Common and Painshill. This is part of a new 5km route that will connect with many existing paths, tracks and bridleways that crisscross Wisley and Ockham Commons.

We’ve been building the bridge supports that will carry the new bridge across the M25, and we’re now ready to install the second piece of the platform to complete the installation.

The M25 will be closed anticlockwise between junction 10 at the Wisley interchange and Junction 9, and clockwise between the slip roads from 9pm Saturday 27 until 9am Sunday 28 January as we complete the installation of the footbridge at Sandpit Hill.

Diversionary routes are:

Vehicles over 14’6” on the M25 anticlockwise leave at junction 10 / A3 Wisley. Travel London bound on the A3 to the A245 Painshill, then A307 to A309, right into Hook Road then A243 to M25 junction 9 Leatherhead.

Vehicles under 14’6” on the M25 anticlockwise leave at junction 10 / A3 Wisley. Travel London bound on the A3 to the A240, then A217 to M25 junction 8 Reigate.

M25 clockwise between slip roads diversion: exit and re-enter junction 10 clockwise.

The A3 will remain open during these closures.

Throughout 2024 there will be other full weekend closures of the A3 and M25.

The first two closures are: 

  Friday 23 February 9pm to Monday 26 February 6am the A3 will be closed in both directions between Send and M25 Junction 10 Wisley Interchange, for demolition works. 

  Friday 15 March 9pm to Monday 18 March 6am the M25 between junction 10 and 11 in both directions, for demolition works and gantry installation.

New Year, new bridge - Sandpit Hill footbridge

Our improvements on the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange project continues to make good progress.

As we continue with the construction of the new bridges, we are planning to install the third of our eight bridges, which is Sandpit Hill bridge that will link Painshill to Ockham Common. At 95 metres long, this will be the longest bridge we will install on the project, and it will cross the M25 to the east of junction 10.

Sandpit Hill bridge is just for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders to safely travel between Ockham Common and Painshill. This is part of a new 5km route that will connect with many existing paths, tracks and bridleways that crisscross Wisley and Ockham Commons.

We’ve been building the bridge supports that will carry the new bridge across the M25, and we’re now ready for the bridge to be installed.

To allow us to safely carry out the installation of the new bridge, we’ll need to close the M25 over two extended overnight closures. Scroll down to the 'Upcoming closures' section of of this page for the overnight closure details. 

Back on 3 January

The project is taking a break over the festive period.

Our work finishes today (Friday 22 December) and will restart on Wednesday 3 January.   

During this time our traffic management will remain in place.  Our CCTV team will be monitoring our work throughout the holiday and our traffic safety control officers will be on hand to help members of the travelling public if needed. Regular checks of our work sites will also be undertaken by our security officers during this time.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding the project whilst we are closed, please contact the National Highways, please contact the Customer Contact Centre by phone on 0300 123 5000 or email: [email protected] .

Heathland restoration at Ockham and Wisley Commons

We’ve completed most of the all-important heathland restoration work in several carefully selected areas, where heathland habitat once thrived. Since we started  work at the beginning of September, we’ve been clearing non-native trees originally planted for timber production to restore 16 hectares of heathland.

Whilst the removal of trees may seem concerning at first, it is the first step to getting the heathland back to its natural state.

Heathland restoration isn’t as simple as planting or sowing seeds – we need to expose historical seed bank. We do this by removing trees, stumps, and the leafy top layer known as a humic layer. This then exposes the seed bank of the heath plants below.

In as little as one year, heathland can begin to re-grow, and as time passes this rare habitat will flourish and support local wildlife. We understand the importance for people to enjoy the nature and landscape, and have retained a buffer of trees around the project.

We started the removal of trees and vegetation in September to avoid bird nesting season, which is usually between March and August.

We also avoid disturbing the ground whilst amphibians and reptiles are hibernating during the winter, generally starting at the beginning of November.

A team of ecologists put measures in place to ensure wildlife remained protected throughout the enhancement work.

We've also committed to manage and monitor the restored and enhanced heathland areas for up to 25 years while they establish. You can read more about this important part of the project in our Heathland FAQ's here .

Wisley Lane bridge beams installed

Good news – we’ve successfully installed all ten pre-cast concrete beams for our new bridge over the A3 at Wisley Lane.

Our teams worked around the clock all weekend while the road was closed to get everything in place and reach this important milestone. This meant manoeuvring a 750 tonne crane onto each carriageway in turn and lifting all of the 80 tonne beams into position.

In the future, this bridge will provide a new, safer route for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and drivers between the A3 Ockham Park junction and Wisley Lane.

Wisley Lane is the second of eight new bridges to have its beams installed in the last three months. The first one was down at Stratford Brook where this same route will travel across the smallest bridge on our scheme and meet up with the roundabout at Ockham Park.

We understand there’s never a good time to do roadworks and the impact this has on the people who live near or travel through our work.

Thank you for your patience over the last few days while we’ve been making our improvements.

Bridges, beams and tunnels

Our new bridge at Wisley Lane is making great progress and is just one of eight being built as part of our improvements.

When complete, the Wisley Lane bridge will provide a new, safer route for walkers, cyclists, horse-riders and drivers between Wisley Lane and the A3 via Ockham Park roundabout.

Together, along with free-flowing left turns, extra lanes and a series of upgrades around the A245 Painshill, our scheme will create safer, smoother journeys for everyone travelling through the south east’s busiest interchange.

Down at Wisley, the beams for our bridge are almost ready to be lifted into position. We were due to install these in September, however this will now take place later this month.

Please check the upcoming closures section for the most up to date information about our full A3 weekend closure.

With so much going on above ground, you’d be forgiven for missing what’s been happening below ground.

Before we can widen the A3 on each side of the junction 10 roundabout, we need to divert a major gas main that runs alongside the A3. This is no mean feat – not to mention avoiding the array of electricity and water supplies that crisscross this area too.

Our tunnel boring machine, affectionately called Ada Florence, has completed her mission, having travelled 40 feet underground from one side of the A3 to the other.

This new tunnel will allow us to lay a brand-new gas pipeline underneath the road and eventually disconnect the old one when everything is up and running.

For all the latest updates, please subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on our Facebook page .

Major heathland restoration gets underway

As well as making some significant safety improvements at junction 10 on the M25, we’re also restoring large areas of heathland across Wisley and Ockham commons.

• Heathland is one of the UK’s most threatened environments
• It is home to a number of rare invertebrates, reptiles, and bird species
• Heathland has declined by 85% over the last 200 years

Left on its own, heathland quickly grows into dense woodland and the animals and plants that depend on it disappear.

The heathland that once stood here is now largely dominated by Scots pine. Much of this was planted for timber production after the Second World War and has, over several years, become overcrowded, supressing the ancient heathland below.

What happens now?

From early September, we’ll be carrying out further tree and vegetation clearance in several areas across both commons which will allow the heathland to regenerate.

Although this may appear harsh, clearing areas of overgrown woodland will allow the heathland to regenerate and help bring back rare wildlife that inhabits it.

Find out more by coming along to our public information event:

Friday 1 September 2023 – 1.30pm to 4pm Ockham Bites Car Park Old Lane, Cobham KT11 1NA

You can also read more in our heathland restoration and woodland management factsheet and find answers to frequently asked questions .

More bridges take shape

We’ve started to build two bridges on the M25 that will carry the new, wider junction 10 roundabout over the motorway and provide much needed capacity.

We’re using pre-cast concrete blocks which takes less time to build, uses less carbon and means we can keep the same number of lanes open for traffic.

The first bridge we started building at Wisley Lane is rapidly taking shape. We’ll need to close the A3 in both directions for a whole weekend this autumn to lift the bridge beams into position – please check back for more information.

We’ve also started to lay the foundations for the new bridge over Stratford Brook. This bridge will take a new road from Ockham Park onto Wisley Lane. The beams for this bridge will be the first to go in.

A245 improvements start soon

As part of our scheme, we’re making significant improvements around the A245 at Painshill to reduce congestion and ease the flow of traffic.

To help us get started, there will be full overnight closures on the A245 from Monday 10 July and a lane closure westbound from Monday 24 July between Painshill and Seven Hills Road.

We’ll start our work during the school holidays to keep disruption to a minimum, however the A245 and surrounding roads are expected to be busy, so please leave plenty of time and continue to take extra care.

Find out about the improvements we’re making in our dedicated factsheet .

In July, we will be starting one of the next stages of our improvements project to deliver a package of road enhancements around the A245, Painshill roundabout and Seven Hills Road junction.  

You may have seen us clearing vegetation and getting things ready to widen a section of the A245 in the direction of Seven Hills Road.  

From Monday 10 July, there will be full overnight closures of the A245 and from Monday 24 July, there will be a permanent lane one closure westbound between Painshill and Seven Hills Road.  

To find out more, come and visit one of our public information events:  

There’s more information about these improvements in our factsheet  

Traffic management work 

You’ll start to notice some changes to our traffic management on the A3/M25 junction 10 as we move our work from the central reservation to the verge.  

• A3 – Ockham Park to M25 

From mid-June, there will be a dedicated lane for drivers heading towards RHS Wisley from the Ockham Park junction. In addition, all narrow lanes will move towards the central reservation.  

Although the number of lanes will not change, lane 1, after RHS Wisley, will be used for M25 traffic towards Heathrow only. Lane 2 will be used for both M25 traffic towards Gatwick and A3 journeys towards London.  

• A3 – southbound off-slip for M25 

From late June, there will be some changes on the southbound approach to the M25 junction. Lane 1 will be used for M25 traffic towards Gatwick only. Lane 2 will be used for both M25 traffic towards Heathrow and A3 journeys south towards Guildford.  

• M25 junction 10 roundabout 

Once traffic management on the approaches have been installed and people are used to the new layout, the outer lane will be closed to tie in with the dedicated lanes.  

Please do be mindful of this change and ensure you’re in the correct lanes as you approach the junction, to prevent any additional congestion.  

Changes to traffic management

We’ve made some changes to our traffic management so we can begin redirecting major services which run alongside the A3 such as gas and water.

We need to do this before we can widen the road and add extra lanes as part of our improvements.   

Our safe working area between the M25 and Painshill has now moved to the verge and northbound A3 traffic is running closer to the central reservation.

The northbound exit slip at Painshill has been reduced to one lane to allow us to work safely in the verge.

Upcoming closures

We’ll need to carry out overnight closures on the A3 from Monday 5 June to move the narrow lanes between Ockham Park and the M25 closer to the central reservation.

Once this is in place, there will be a dedicated lane on the A3 northbound for traffic in and out of Wisley Lane and Gardens.

Please see full closure and diversion information below.

Wisley Lane bridge

We’ve almost finished building the central pier of the new Wisley Lane bridge and will shortly begin constructing the other piers on the verge where foundation work has already started.  

Our piling rig has also been laying foundations on the M25 ready for two new gyratory bridges that will form the wider junction to ease congestion on the roundabout.  

New bridge takes shape

You may have noticed some new concrete blocks have appeared in the central reservation of the A3. These are hollow pre-made blocks that will be filled with concrete and form the centre support of the new Wisley Lane link bridge we’re starting to build.

This way of building the bridge means less disruption for road users as we can work in a smaller area and keep traffic flowing.

In the future, a new road from Ockham Park roundabout will go over the A3 to Wisley Lane, providing a much safer route for vehicles, walkers, cyclists, and horse riders to the RHS Gardens and Wisley village 

What happens next?

Later this year, we will lift the new bridge deck beams into position and will need to close the A3. We’ll keep you updated on when we’re planning to do this.

Elsewhere, our pilling rig has been making its way around the central reservation of the M25, drilling foundations for the new junction 10 roundabout bridges which will be wider to increase capacity and improve journey times.

A245 and Painshill junction improvements

At Painshill, we’ve removed some more lighting columns in the central reservation so the A3 can be widened from three to four lanes between here and the M25.

We’ll soon start work to widen the A245 between the Painshill roundabout and the Seven Hills Road junction. Initially, there will be lane closures overnight while we carry out some surveys ahead of the main widening work which is due to start in July.

We’ll keep you updated as we get closer to these works.

April update

Our improvements are well underway - read more in our April newsletter .

We’ve removed lighting columns and metal barriers in the central reservation on the A3 to make room to build the extra lanes as part of our scheme. 

Foundation work has also started on the new Wisley Lane link bridge. Wisley Lane will no longer join directly onto the busy A3 and will massively improve safety at the junction.

Our scheme will see not one, not two, but eight new bridges, including the UK’s first ever heathland bridge.

Heathland restoration update

If you’ve passed through our work recently, you will have noticed a significant amount of tree clearance.

Although this might seem shocking at first, this is a natural part of resorting the ancient heathland that was once part of this landscape.

You can read more detail in our factsheets:

• Heathland restoration and woodland management  
• Tree and vegetation removal

“Sett”-ling in…

We do everything we can to protect the environment and provide enhanced habitats for some of our more vulnerable species.

A replacement sett we built has been occupied!

We’ve been monitoring our stripey-nosed friends very closely and our hidden cameras show a family of badgers are using the artificial sett.

As badgers are nocturnal and quite weary of humans, we don’t know how many exactly have re-located, but we do know they have and are settling in rather nicely.

Read more in our Habitat factsheet .

Extended hours closures (M25) – March/April 2023

We need to carry out some overnight closures of the M25 this month to continue with our improvements.

Our normal overnight closure times are usually between 9pm and 6am, however we will need to do some extended overnight closures finishing later at 8am instead. This is because we need more time to safely remove the gantries and make room for the new bridges as part of our scheme.

We'll also be finishing some resurfacing in the Burpham area and will need to close the A3 between the Burntcommon entry slip and Dennis Interchange.

Closure information

• Friday 17 March –  9pm to 6am The M25 will be closed anticlockwise overnight between junctions 11 for Chertsey and junction 10 for the A3.
• Extended closure: 9pm Saturday 18 to 8am Sunday 19 March The M25 will be closed anti-clockwise overnight between junctions 11 and 10.

Central reservation work and upcoming closures

We’ve finished putting in narrow lanes and a reduced speed limit on the A3 and have started to remove the lighting columns and metal barriers in the central reservation.

We’ve also started putting in narrow lanes and a reduced speed limit on the M25 in both directions underneath the junction and will be starting some work on the slip roads so we can continue with our improvements.

Slip road and roundabout closures – March 2023

Our overnight closures will usually  start from  9pm  and  finish by 6am  but this can change depending on the volume of traffic and when we can close the road safely.

Drivers will be diverted off the A3 onto the M25 junction roundabout and join again to continue their journey.  

NEW: We'll also be finishing some resurfacing further down the A3 at Burntcommon from Monday 13 to Friday 17 February 2023.

Drivers heading southbound from this point will then be diverted from Ockham via B2215/A247 towards West Clandon and A25/A246 through Guildford to reach the A31 Farnham Road to join the A3 at Down Lane. Drivers will still be able to join the A3 at the A25 Dennis Interchange and travel south. 

For full details, please visit our south east maintenance page .

Our diversion routes are designed to suit all types of vehicles. If you use a Satnav when following our diversion, there is a risk it could direct you down an unsuitable road or try to direct you back onto our network when it is closed.

Plan your journey, even if it’s a regular trip. You can do this by checking our Daily Closure Report or visiting our Travel Updates page.

Start of work

We’re about to start our work to improve M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange.

You’ll see us removing trees and other vegetation first of all. Find out more about why we’re doing this by reading our Heathland Restoration and Woodland Management factsheet. Please also read our your questions answered factsheet – it may answer any questions you have.

Introduction of narrow lanes on the A3 and footpath diversions

We’ll be introducing temporary changes to the road layout on the A3 and M25 junction 10 slips to help keep traffic flowing smoothly and create a safe working area for our team. We’ll be putting narrow lanes in place on the A3 and reducing the speed limit to 50 mph – the narrow lanes and lower speed limit means we can keep three lanes open.

We’ll also be working around the common areas and at times you may find that we have footpath diversion routes in place.

We’ll usually work between 7:30am and 6pm Mondays to Fridays, and 8am to 7pm on Saturdays, so there may be times when you won’t see anyone on site. We’ll also need to carry out some work overnight using road closures. You can find more information about our planned closures over the next few months below. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to your journey.

Our improvements will be completed by summer 2025, and you can find out more about what is planned when on our project timeline.

Planned closures – December 2022

Our planned overnight closures for December are below.  These closures will allow us to carry out some survey works in the central reservation and verge areas along the A3.

To help reduce the impact to road users and local community during Christmas and New Year period, we’ll be carrying out our closures to set up the temporary changes to the road layout on the A3 and M25 in January 2023. We will share more details about these closures and changes shortly. 

We'll be keeping this webpage updated with the latest information, and you can register to get our email newsletters using the 'Sign up for updates' button on this page.

If you have any queries, you can contact the team on [email protected] at any time during the scheme.

Preparation work and the opportunity to meet the team

While our main work will start in mid-September and be completed by Summer 2025, we'll be carrying out some work to help prepare for construction from mid-June.  This preparation work will reduce the risk of any delays, and includes:

• Construction of our site compound at Nutberry Fruit Farm in June, and our compound at Wisley Airfield in July
• Trial and bore hole surveys to confirm the locations of existing utilities and reduce the risk of finding any surprises. This work will be carried out at night and, in some locations, we will need to close footpath or road lanes.
• Utility diversions at both Ockham interchange and Painshill junction, these will require traffic management to be put into place
• Preparation work on Elm Lane
• Installation of CCTV

Development Consent Order given the green light

Today we welcomed the Secretary of State for Transport decision to grant us a Development Consent Order, which allows us to proceed with our project to improve the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange.

This junction is one of the busiest on our network, with almost 300,000 journeys every day. Due to the volume of traffic and the resulting queues, the junction and the surrounding roads have a high number of incidents. Our proposals will deliver much needed additional capacity, better connectivity for people and businesses, and safer journeys for everyone.

This vital work will generate more than 400 jobs, including around 20 apprenticeships and graduate jobs, and deliver an environmental legacy that will restore rare heathland in Ockham and Wisley Commons for years to come.

You can view the decision documents the Planning Inspectorate website .

Keeping you informed

We plan to start work in autumn 2022. To make sure you know what’s coming and to keep everyone up to date we will:

• issue regular project newsletters – you can join the mailing list by signing up on this page
• run online briefings in June to provide the opportunity to ask the team any questions, as well as providing information about our online portal
• organise face-to-face events using our engagement van at local venues. These will provide information about the scheme and allow us to answer any questions you and others may have. We will provide you with more details of these on this page soon.

We’re due to be hearing from the Secretary of State for Transport by 12 May, on whether we can continue with our proposals to improve M25 junction 10. Here is an overview from Jonathan, our Project Manager, about the Development Consent Order (DCO) decision process and what to expect following a decision. 

Why is the Development Consent Order process in place for this scheme?

The M25 junction 10 project was considered by the Government to be so big and nationally important that it met the criteria of being a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP), as defined in the Planning Act 2008.  This means that permission to build it would need to be given at a national level through the Development Consent Order process.  You can find out more about this process by watching this short animation .

What are the different decision scenarios that the Secretary of State for Transport could announce?

There are a number of possible scenarios. The DCO could be granted, and one of our first steps would be to read the Examining Authority’s report in full to understand any recommendations that have been included. The DCO decision could also be deferred again, or it could be rejected entirely.

What can’t happen is that we are granted a DCO covering only parts of the works. The package of work is a complete entity, referred to in the DCO as the “authorised development”. If the DCO is granted, we expect that there will be a period of approximately three weeks between it being announced and the powers within it coming into force.

If the decision is approved where I will be able to find out more information?

You will be able to find out more information here on our dedicated webpage, where you can also sign up for our updates and newsletters.  We we’ll also be running a series of public information events where you will be able to come meet the team and ask questions.  More details will be shared about these events should our proposals receive a positive decision.  

Why does M25 Junction 10/A3 Wisley need improving?

Junction 10 is one of the busiest sections of the M25, with almost 300,000 vehicles travelling through it every day. Due to the volume of traffic and the resulting queues, this area of our network has a very poor safety record and holds one of the highest collision rates across the National Highways network.  Our proposals will reduce delays, improve connections, smooth traffic flow and create safer journeys for all.  The scheme will also involve some of the most extensive environmental mitigation ever carried out by National Highways. 

Supporting the local community

While we wait for a decision we have been continuing to engage with stakeholders, supporting our local community, and looking at opportunities to help prepare us to start works, should we get approval.  

Last month our project team recently volunteered alongside the team at RHS Wisley Gardens. Our team spent the day working in the Bowes Lyon Rose Garden, helping to get the area ready for summer.  This involved laying down a mulch which will help the soil retain moisture in the summer and prevent weeds from growing. We would like to say a big thank you to the RHS for welcoming us into their gardens. The Royal Horticultural Society are a charity who aim to inspire a passion for gardening and growing plants, along with promoting the value of gardens and the vital role for people and the planet that plants play.

We have been busy collecting essential items to support the North Guildford foodbank, along with volunteering at the food bank itself sorting food parcels.  We also took the opportunity to get involved in the recent Great British Spring Clean initiative by completing a litter pick around our scheme.  The campaign by Keep Britain Tidy, looks to encourage everyone to take part in litter picking events, and think about the risk that litter causes to local wildlife, and to the workers out collecting it.  In 2021, 30,000 bags of litter were collected from the M25 network area, so its important issue for us and we can all help keep our roads safe and tidy. 

February update

In December, the Secretary of State for Transport wrote to us on our proposals to improve the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange. In his consultation letter , the Secretary of State asked for further information about our replacement land proposals, and our environmental data.  You can read our full response here. We look forward to hearing from the Secretary of State for Transport in May on whether we can continue with our proposals.   To make sure we’re in the best position to get going with delivering our scheme, should we get the go-ahead, we have been using the last few months to update our environmental surveys, engage with our stakeholders and volunteer in the local community. 

We have been repeating our bat and badger surveys in the local area to make sure our information is up to date.  For the bat surveys our ecologists have been looking at local trees to see if they have signs, or the potential, to support hibernation or maternity roosts – for several weeks in the summer female bats gather in a roost to have their babies, and we need to ensure our work does not disturb either of these roosts. The badger surveys involved walking around areas where badger setts have previously been identified to look for any signs of new setts. 

Our programme of work takes into account the seasonal activity of all protected species and includes extensive ecological mitigation measures.  These measures include restoring rare heathland habitat, enhancing existing woodlands, creating new woodlands and parkland. These improvements will benefit a host of species including invertebrates, birds, reptiles, small mammals (including bats) and larger mammals such as badgers, and even us humans who will be able to access much of this new and diverse habitat.

You can read more about the environmental surveys and how we have been visiting other major National Highways schemes in our latest newsletter . 

Volunteering day at RHS Wisley Gardens

Our project team recently volunteered alongside the team at RHS Wisley Gardens. Our team spent the day working in the Bowes Lyon Rose Garden, helping to get the area ready for summer.  This involved laying down a mulch which will help the soil retain moisture in the summer and prevent weeds from growing. 

We would like to say a big thank you to the RHS for welcoming us into their gardens. The Royal Horticultural Society are a charity who aim to inspire a passion for gardening and growing plants, along with promoting the value of gardens and the vital role for people and the planet  that plants play.

December update

We are continuing to engage with stakeholders and our local community, along with giving support to other schemes that have recently started works, while we wait for a decision on whether we can continue with our proposals to improve the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange.   

Our project team have recently volunteered with a local foodbank and spent time with students from East Surrey College.  The students are all interested in careers in construction and engineering and we talked to them about the jobs that we do, our careers and future employment opportunities.  The College offers full-time and part-time courses as well as apprenticeships, university level and new level 3 T level qualifications for the construction and engineering sector. Level 3 business student, Elizabeth, said “It was cool to hear about how the digital sector use drones across the country to capture aerial images and videos of the work happening on site.”

We also recently asked for your feedback on our newsletters and what else you would like to hear about.  You can read more about the feedback that was shared with us, our visit to the College and some tips for travelling safely in winter in our latest newsletter.  Sign up to our mailing list and you can receive our newsletters straight to your inbox.

If approved our proposals will improve connections, smooth traffic flows and create safer journeys for all.  The deadline for our scheme decision is 12 May 2022 and we will keep this webpage updated with any latest updates.

Decision deadline extended to May 2022

The Secretary of State for Transport has asked for more time to make a final decision on whether we can continue with our proposals to improve the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange.  

In his statement , the Secretary of State sets out he is extending the deadline to 12 May 2022 to allow for further consideration of environmental matters.

We’re committed to delivering the improvements at M25 junction 10 and remain confident that our proposals will deliver much needed additional capacity, with better connectivity for people and business, and safer journeys for everyone. This junction is one of the busiest on our network, with almost 300,000 journeys every day.

Thank you to everyone for their engagement and contribution in the development of the scheme to date. We will continue to work with the Planning Inspectorate, local stakeholders and local authorities until the Secretary of State makes his decision.

Further information regarding the extension and any additional consultations will be posted on the  Planning Inspectorate’s website .

Project update – July 2021

In May, the Secretary of State for Transport has asked for more time to make a final decision on whether we can continue with our proposals to improve the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange.  In  his statement, the Secretary of State  set out the 6-month extension and provided the new deadline of 12 November 2021. Details of the additional information requested by the Secretary of State can be viewed the  Planning Inspectorate’s website .

We remain confident that our proposals will deliver much needed additional capacity, with better connectivity for people and business, and safer journeys for everyone. You can now visit our virtual information portal that outlines our proposals and the safety and environmental benefits they would bring. Just click on the ‘view the portal’ option at the top of this page. We would be interested to hear your feedback on the portal, and you can share your thoughts with us using the get in touch section on the portal or by email on [email protected] .

Since the announcement, we’ve spent the time understanding what this extension means for our plans. As part of this we’ve looked at what we can do to get ready if our proposals were to be approved. One of these is to apply for planning permission for our main site compound. The permission will allow us to build our offices during warmer months and to ensure we are ready to deliver the wider scheme programme. The application will be reviewed by Guildford Borough Council and we expect to hear back over the next couple of months.

Decision deadline extended to November 2021

In his statement, the Secretary of State sets out the 6-month extension is to allow for further consideration of environmental matters, and provides the new deadline of 12 November 2021.

Thank you to everyone for their engagement and contribution in the development of the scheme to date. Further information regarding the extension and any additional consultations will be posted on the Planning Inspectorate’s website .

We remain confident that our proposals will deliver much needed additional capacity, with better connectivity for people and business, and safer journeys for everyone. This junction is one of the busiest on our network, with almost 300,000 journeys every day. Due to the volume of traffic and the resulting queues, the junction and the surrounding roads have a high number of incidents.

Decision update

In January 2021, the Secretary of State for Transport delayed his final decision on our proposals to improve the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange to 12 May 2021.

This four-month extension is to allow the Secretary of State to understand more detail in certain areas of our application. You can view the written statement about the extension on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.

Thank you to everyone who has got involved in the development of the scheme so far. More information about the scheme, along with the decision when it is announced, can be viewed on the Planning Inspectorate’s website .

Decision date extended

The Secretary of State has extended the deadline for the decision on the Development Consent Order for improvements to the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange to 12 May 2021.

The 4-month extension is to allow the Secretary of State to consult further on specific areas of the application. View the written statement about the extension .

We look forward to the Secretary of State’s Development Consent Order decision later in the year and will continue to assist with the process over the forthcoming months. Thank you to everyone for their engagement and contribution in the development of the scheme to date. Further information regarding the additional consultation will be posted on the Planning Inspectorate’s website .

Our plans to improve the M25 at junction 10 near Wisley are good for road safety, good for the environment and good for business and jobs. The new junction will improve almost 300,000 journeys a day, making them more reliable and safer, with nearly a third fewer collisions.

• An additional lane on the A3 in both directions from Ockham and Painshill junctions towards the M25
• A larger roundabout with extra lanes to increase capacity
• Free flow left turns at all four corners of the junction
• Improvements to the A245 Seven Hills junction and Painshill roundabout
• Safer access to Old Lane, Elm Lane, Heyswood campsite and San Domenico
• Improvements to the local environment and wildlife

Find out more in our information portal

Our scheme will

• Improve safety and journey times
• Reduce congestion
• Smooth the flow of traffic
• Increased capacity
• Provide better connections
• Improve access for cyclists, pedestrians and horse-riders
• Support local and national economic growth

Heathland is one of the UK’s most threatened environments and is a vital habitat for a range of invertebrates, reptiles, and bird species.

We’re restoring large areas of heathland at Wisley and Ockham commons. This long-term process starts with the removal of trees, which might seem concerning at first, but it is the first step to getting it back to its natural state.

Learn more about our tree removal works and why they are needed

Our scheme involves some of the most extensive environmental mitigation ever carried out by National Highways.

More than 16 hectares of land will be used to replace common land and public open space that is needed to improve the junction.

We’re also enhancing other areas of woodland using selective clearance. This involves thinning out conifers to improve the abundance of broadleaf, structurally complex woodland that is more in keeping with the historic landscape and home to a wide range of species. 

This work will encourage regrowth and increase the variation of height and age of trees. New areas of native tree and shrub species, which are best suited to the conditions here, will also be planted along and around the roads.

We’ll make sure we leave a lasting environmental legacy that will benefit Ockham and Wisley Common for years to come.

The Development Consent Order (DCO) process was established by the Planning Act 2008 and is used for certain large and complex schemes that have been designated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) by the Government.

The Secretary of State for Transport granted the Development Consent Order (DCO) for the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange improvements on 12 May 2022.

Links to key DCO documentation can be found below:

• Examining Authority’s report and recommendations to the Secretary of State for Transport
• Secretary of State for Transport’s decision letter and statement of reasons
• Development Consent Order as made by the Secretary of State for Transport

You can view our full Development Consent Order application on the Planning Inspectorate website.

Current scheme plans and documents are listed at Article 45 in Schedule 11.

Development Consent Order – Requirements Register

Requirements are planning conditions included in the DCO that relate to all or part of the works. They each require documents to be prepared, consulted upon by defined organisations and submitted to the Secretary of State for approval. These processes are referred to here and in the DCO as “discharging” the requirements.

This Requirements Register is a live document and will be updated as the process to discharge the requirements progresses.

The latest version will always be published below:
