Temporary Prohibition Of Traffic Order 2014
The Surrey County Council Public Footpath Nos. 82 (Woking) and 5 (Ockham) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2014 was made on the grounds of the likelihood of danger to the public due to an unsafe footbridge.
The Order came into operation on 3 February 2014 and was originally due to expire on 12 July 2014, but was extended to 31 August 2023. The Order has now been continued in force by the Secretary of State for Transport for a 10th time and will now expire on 31 August 2024, or until the completion of the works, whichever is earlier.
The Order as continued prohibits all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding along Public Footpath Nos. 82 (Woking) and 5 (Ockham) at Pigeon House Footbridge (Grid ref: TQ 0542 5844).
The temporary closure will only operate while the County Council, or an authorised person acting on its behalf, displays signs prohibiting the said movements.
The alternative route from the northern end of the closure will be:
Proceed in a north-westerly direction along Public Footpath 83 (Woking) to its junction with Public Footpath 131 (Woking).
Turn right and proceed in a north-easterly direction along Public Footpath 131 and Public Footpath 82 (Woking), bearing left and continuing along Public Footpath 82 in an easterly and then north-easterly direction to its junction with Warren Lane.
