Public Footpath 403 (Salfords and Sidlow)
Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2025
The Surrey County Council Public Footpath No. 403 (Salfords & Sidlow) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2025 was made on the grounds of public safety due to a planned railway bridge replacement. The Order came into operation on 03 February 2025. It was due to expire on 05 May 2025 but has now been continued in force by the Secretary of State for Transport until 05 July 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 along that length of Public Footpath 403 (Salfords & Sidlow) which extends for about 215 metres in a north-easterly direction from point A (Grid ref: 528497 146345), located along the footbridge at Salfords Station, to point B (Grid ref: 528672 146418), at its junction with Byway Open to All Traffic (BOAT) 401 (Salfords & Sidlow), and which is marked by a solid black line on plan no. 3/1/45a/H21.
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.
The alternative route for traffic from the western end of the closure will be: from point A, along the footbridge, head west along Public Footpath 403 (Salfords & Sidlow), then turn right into Southern Avenue and continue for about 225 metres in a north-westerly direction, then turn right and follow Honeycrock Lane in a generally easterly direction for about 225 metres, then turn right and follow BOAT 401 (Salfords & Sidlow) in a south-easterly direction for about 180 metres, until you reach point B.
The alternative route for traffic from the eastern end of the closure will be the reverse of the route described above.
