Gas Main Repairs Victoria Arch

The Lib Dems are pushing for action to clear up Victoria Arch

Victoria Arch Traffic Chaos Likely

From 8pm 22 January 2010) the A320 northbound route through Victoria Arch will be closed for 6 to 8 weeks to undertake the replacement of gas mains at the junction of Goldsworth Road and Victoria Way to Market Square, Woking Town Centre. This work will be done by Southern Gas Networks.

This will mean that northbound traffic will be diverted via Triggs Lane and Wych Hill Lane. Access through the tunnel for pedestrians, cyclists and southbound traffic from the Town Centre will be unaffected.

What is worse is that the same company are doing roadworks on Maybury Hill and they will be digging up the pavement on Triggs Lane, which will cause more chaos and traffic disruption. Our county colleagues will be urging the Surrey County Council to co-ordinate these roadworks to minimise disruption as far as possible.

Please let us know what problems you experience so that we can take it up with Surrey County Council. If you want to contact SCC directly please call 03456 009009.
