Works began at the Gole Road / Dawney Hill Junction on 13th October with the installation of traffic management and diversion routes. Vegetation clearance also commenced and is currently progressing slightly ahead of schedule.
Service tracing and trial holes are set to begin later this week to confirm utility locations ahead of joint bay excavations. Once vegetation clearance is complete, excavation of the shared utility trench behind the new road will start, using a combination of mechanical and vacuum excavation methods.

Following the issue of this letter it was agreed to delay the start of the works on the M3 Junction 3 to allow further discussions with councillors, Surrey County Council and National Highways. These conversations have helped us understand the priorities of the community and have informed how the works will be delivered. Following this engagement, it has now been agreed by all parties, that construction at M3 Junction 3 will commence on Thursday 16 October 2025.
