A planned weekend closure of the M3 has been postponed due to a Met Office forecast of high winds. National Highways have postponed the £900,000 work, essential repairs to the east and west bridges at Junction 3 Lightwater Interchange, for one week. The A322 northbound closure will now take place from 9pm on Friday, 28 February until 6am on Monday, 3 March.
National Highways Project Manager, Emma Weston, said: “We always try to inform motorists in advance of any road closures but sometimes the weather can have an impact on scheduled work and we have to re-schedule our plans.”
A second-weekend closure at the A322 southbound has subsequently been pushed back, with the latest Met Office forecast for the area shows heavy rain and strong wind on Sunday, February 22.

East bridge (A322 southbound) closures:
- A322 northbound, left onto A30 (London Road)
