Possible A31 corridor interventions

Please scroll down to share your views

The A31 is the main east-west route through western Surrey and eastern Hampshire and plays a vital role in the regional economy. The main bottleneck on the route is the Hickley’s Corner junction, with long queues on the approaches. The area is forecast to experience rapid growth in population, which will exacerbate delays at the junction.

Potential options could include:

We need to do more detailed study work to assess the A31 corridor and develop a programme of improvements between the Coxbridge, and Shepherd and Flock roundabouts. This will include addressing the challenges at Hickley’s Corner and be fully integrated with the proposals for the town centre and South Farnham.

We have reviewed the options that were previously developed for a new underpass at Hickley’s Corner in the 1990s and 2000s. A new underpass would be very expensive to build and could create serious disruption to the town for a long period during construction. It is also unlikely to be consistent with our objectives to rapidly reduce carbon emissions. We will therefore investigate a wide range of options that could solve the problems facing this area of the town.

Short-term measures to improve road safety and smooth traffic flows by using average speed cameras, and reducing the speed limit on the A31, will also be considered.
