It was then continued in force for a further 12 months by the Secretary of State for Transport until 2 April 2025. It has now been continued for a third time until 2 June 2025 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 Public Footpath 184 (Windlesham) at the M3 Bagshot Heath Footbridge over the M3 Motorway between grid ref 491334 162314 and 491377 162240.

There is no suggested alternative route around the closure.
