This is so it can install Cockcrow Bridge which will be the UK’s first heathland bridge as part of the massive works being carried out at the interchange used by drivers from the Hampshire area which is the busiest in the country.

Diversions are:

Southbound: the diversion route will be via Cobham, Chessington, Great Bookham and Effingham, rejoining the A3 at Send.
Northbound: the diversion route will be via East Clandon, Effingham, Fetcham and then onto the M25 towards Wisley.

It is one of a number of closures which have taken place on the A3 and M25 as part of the huge three-year project due to be completed this summer.
