Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2026
“The Surrey County Council Public Footpath No. 66 (Egham) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2026” was made to enable the refurbishment of Bell Weir. The order came into operation on 23 February 2026. It was due to expire on 22 August 2026 but has now been continued in force by the Secretary of State for Transport until 22 February 2028 or until the completion of the works, whichever is sooner.
The order as continued prohibits all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding in that length of Public Footpath 66 (Egham) which extends northeast along the River Thames for 40 metres from point A, Grid ref: 500619 172363, to the southwest of Runnymede Pleasure Ground at point B, Grid ref: 500642 172396, and which is marked by a solid bold line on plan no. 3/1/88/H49.
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 south will be generally southeast then northeast, west and southwest around the works compound, a total length of 340 metres, and will be signed throughout. This route is the opposite in reverse.
