Highways repairs on Godstone High Street to complete in June
Update - June 2026
Works to repair the twenty-metre road collapse in Godstone are set to complete during June, with the full reopening of the road scheduled for early July.
Highways teams successfully finished filling all areas of the complex and vast underground mine workings during April. The site was then handed over to Sutton and East Surrey (SES) Water for their works to reinstate the damaged water pipes.
Repairs of their 8” pipe are on track, enabling Surrey Highways to return to site on Tuesday 2 June to fully reconstruct the road and pavements, which will be completed during week commencing 29 June 2026.
Due to the complexity of underground conditions and other utility pipework on the high street, SES’s work to repair their 16” pipe is now expected to be completed in early July. The road will therefore be reopened under two-way traffic lights during this time, ahead of the full reopening when SES works are completed.
Matt Furniss, Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Economic Growth, said “I’m delighted that our highways works will be completed next month and that the area can begin to return to normality.
We would like to thank residents and businesses for their patience while we have dealt with this incredibly challenging incident over the past fifteen months.
Fundamentally, our focus has always been on getting this right to ensure the area is safe and stable for local people, and those travelling through the area.”
