Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2023
The Surrey County Council Public Footpath No. 12 (Guildford) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2024 was made on the grounds of public safety due to damage to the bridge. The Order came into operation on 26 July 2023. It was due to expire on 5 January 2024 but was continued in force by the Secretary of State for Transport until 5 January 2025. It has now been continued in force by the Secretary of State for Transport for a second time until 5 January 2026 or until the completion of the works, whichever is earlier.
The Order as continued will have the effect of prohibiting all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding along the length of Public Footpath 12 (Guildford)/T706 Beech Grove Footway at Park Barn railway footbridge (Grid reference: 497521, 150187) between Footpath 12 Guildford/T706 Beech Grove Footway at the rear of the Tesco Superstore, and Greville Close.
The prohibition described above will only be operative while the County Council, or an authorized 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 around the closure from southern end of the closure is: Proceed in a westerly direction along T706 Beech Grove Footway (the path behind Tesco) to reach Egerton Road. Turn right onto Egerton Road and proceed in a northerly direction to the roundabout. At the roundabout, turn right onto Southway and proceed in an easterly direction to the junction with Greville Close. Turn right onto Greville Close and proceed in a southerly direction to the northern end of the closure. The alternative route around the closure from northern end of the closure will be the reverse of the above.
