Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2025
The Surrey County Council Public Footpath No. 31 (Claygate) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2025 was made on the grounds of public safety due to replacement works on the Lovelace Footbridge over the A3. The Order came into operation on 13 March 2025. It was due to expire on 27 March 2025 but has now been continued in force by the Secretary of State for Transport until 27 May 2025 or until the completion of the works, whichever is earlier.
The Order as continued prohibits all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding in that length of Public Footpath 31 (Claygate) which extends from its junction with Woodstock Lane South (Grid ref: 516912 164436) to the county boundary with The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames located east of the A3/Esher Bypass (Grid ref: 517153 164324). The closure will be in operation overnight between the hours of 20:00 and 06:00.
The prohibition described above will only be operative while the County Council, or an authorised person acting on its behalf, displays signs prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (S.I. 2002 No. 3113) prohibiting the said movements. Access to properties will not be affected.
There is no alternative route.
