"As part of our work to replace bridge joints at the M3 Lightwater Interchange, we will be closing one bridge plus its slip road, one at a time over two weekends, so that traffic can still flow in one direction.
"I would like to thank road users in advance for their patience and understanding, and would advise anyone planning on travelling at this time to allow extra time to complete their journey."
During the west bridge closure, a diversion will be in place via the A322 southbound, right onto B311 (Red Road), right onto B3015 (The Maultway), right onto A30 (London Road) and right onto Grove End, before rejoining the A322.

To join the M3 at Frimley interchange (junction 4) during the east bridge closure, drivers should take the A322 northbound, left onto A30 (London Road), then left onto the A331 and then join at Frimley interchange (junction 4).
The weekend works are weather dependent.
