Latest updates
Work is expected to start on the Monument Green/ Thames Street junction towards the end of October. This is expected to take approximately 6 weeks and will be done in 3 phases:
- Phase 1 involves work on the Monument Green pedestrian crossing to widen the crossing and refurbish the traffic lights.
- Phase 2 will focus on widening the pavement and resurfacing the road at the Monument Green/ Thames Street junction.
- Phase 3 will deliver repairs to the pavement along the south side of High Street between Diggers Lane and No. 15 High Street, and also improve accessibility at the bus stop.
To allow these works to be delivered safely, there will be temporary traffic management in place. This will include:
- Monument Hill car park will be closed throughout the works
- Partial lane closures and on-street parking suspensions will be in place along the A317 High Street/ Monument Green (north side and south side alternately)
- There will be no access to Thames Street from the A317 during Phase 2 (alternative route: Portmore Park Road, Oakdale Road, Elmgrove Road)
- A temporary pedestrian crossing will be in place during Phase 1
- The A317 High Street/ Monument Hill will be closed overnight for 3 nights between Monument Road and Baker Street (alternative route: A317 Monument Hill, B373 Hanger Hill, B374 Heath Road, A317 Church Street)
We will provide timelines and temporary traffic management details for the other planned work nearer the time.
Upcoming works
- Monument Hill/Monument Green junction – The existing traffic signal-controlled pedestrian crossing and footway on Monument Green will be widened to provide safer crossing for pedestrians.
- Weybridge Road/Balfour Road/Portmore Park Road roundabout – Zebra crossings and raised junction table will be installed on Portmore Park Road and Balfour Road, and a contraflow cycle lane will be installed on Old Wharf Way. This will provide safer crossings for pedestrians and encourage more cycling.
- Church Street between Minorca Road and Baker Street – A wider footway, zebra crossing, street lights, new planter and seating will be installed to provide a safer environment for walking and resting.
- Old Wharf Way/ Bridge Road junction – following feedback, we will be installing bollards on Old Wharf Way to encourage better driver behaviour.
- Town-wide 20mph zone – following feedback from residents and stakeholders, we will not be implementing a town-wide 20mph zone in Weybridge. However, we are investigating the feasibility of introducing a 20mph speed limit on some side roads and close to schools in Weybridge.
More details including the start dates and estimated durations will soon be available on this page.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the construction or ongoing road works, you can report them using our online reporting tool or you can contact our roads and transport service.
Once the construction dates are confirmed, we will update this webpage. We will also be sending letters to nearby residents to notify them of the roadworks, and the details will be shown on the roadworks map.

Scheme overview
The roads in Weybridge town centre carry a significant amount of vehicular traffic, and consequently, the residents, businesses and visitors often experience traffic congestion when they travel. ßÙßÇÂþ» has recognised a need to tackle traffic congestion by reducing over reliance on short car trips, improving the facilities for walking, cycling and travelling by bus.
A stakeholder reference group including community leaders, community groups and residents was established in July 2021, and together we developed several proposals to improve Weybridge town centre's walking, cycling and bus stop facilities. The public were consulted on these proposals in May 2022 and January 2023. We received over 600 responses and have subsequently revised the proposals following analysis of the consultation feedback.
We have postponed the start of the main high street works because of the major works being undertaken by National Highways at M25 Junction 10/A3 Wisley Interchange. Weybridge town centre is likely to experience even greater levels of traffic congestion if both sets of works were to take place at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Why are you making changes to Weybridge town centre?
Weybridge is by far the largest employment centre in Elmbridge. There is an aspiration to invest in Weybridge to ensure it continues to be an attractive town for business, education, and as a place to live.
The town centre has high levels of private vehicle journeys and related congestion within the area. We have recognised a need to improve footway areas, road safety, enhance bus journey time, tackle road traffic congestion, undertake decluttering works and improve the highway environment for all road users across Weybridge town centre.
Weybridge town centre would benefit from active travel, improved public transport accessibility, and efficient network management. In light of the updated government policies around active travel, and our Local Transport Plan LTP4, there is a need to ensure that the Weybridge scheme aligns with our goals regarding climate change and active travel.
We need to make changes to address the issues identified in the area, these include providing a safer environment for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists, encouraging active travel, improving the public transport experience, and reducing collisions. The improvements will also integrate with the planned hospital and library redevelopments.
How much will the works cost and where is the funding coming from?
The works are estimated to cost £5 million, with funding provided by Elmbridge Borough Council and ßÙßÇÂþ».
Which proposals have been revised following the public consultation in 2023?
The following proposals shared during the consultation have been updated in response to consultation feedback:
- Weybridge Road/Balfour Road/Portmore Park Road junction – new zebra crossings will be installed on Portmore Park Road and Balfour Road, close to the mini roundabout. A short section of shared use path will be provided for cyclists travelling between Balfour Road and Old Wharf Way. A contraflow southbound on road cycle lane will be installed on the one-way section of Old Wharf Way. The westbound bus stop on Balfour Road will be relocated further east to accommodate a zebra crossing on Balfour Road.
- Church Street/Minorca Road to Church Street/Baker Street junctions – existing signal-controlled pedestrian crossing on Church Street just west of Churchfield Road will be removed. The new zebra crossing on Church Street has been moved further east than so that it aligns with the pedestrian route between High Street and Churchfield Road car park. The eastbound bus stop opposite to the library will be relocated further east. New seating and planters will be provided within the widened footway section between Churchfield Road and Baker Street.
- Monument Hill/Baker Street junction – existing right-turn lane into Baker Street will be retained and the yellow box marking will change from full-width to half-width (please note that this work has been completed).

Which proposals will not be progressed following the public consultation in 2023?
We have updated the designs for this scheme based on feedback received from residents during the public consultation. The following proposals shared during the consultation will not be progressed:
- Bridge Road/Old Wharf Way junction – proposed closure of Old Wharf Way to through traffic.
- Weybridge Road/Balfour Road/Portmore Park Road junction – pedestrian and cycle crossings converted to conventional zebra crossings.

How is the council addressing Heavy Goods Vehicle (HVG) traffic?
There is currently an experimental prohibition of HGVs in Weybridge.
How will residents be informed of the works?
We will inform residents of upcoming works through letters and advance warning signs. We will also be updating the project webpage to notify residents of any changes.
What will the traffic management be?
Appropriate and safe traffic management measures will be set up to reduce the impact of construction as much as possible. Inevitably there will be some disruption to traffic especially at peak times, but careful consideration will be given to the timing and phasing of works to keep these to a minimum.
How will the work affect businesses and residents?
We will make sure residents and businesses can get to and from their homes or businesses when it is safe to do so to keep disruption to a minimum.
