Excellent, informative video. I know the area well, and I can still remember the days when aircraft were being tested there!
Thanks for the upload. For future ones to make it a bit simpler. Can you put a compass arrow pointing North, or perhaps an Arrow pointing "Towards London" Or "Towards Heathrow" on the images to aid orientation. Oh and Pains Hill/A3 junction to if you're nearby. But of course NOTHING has improved on that hell hole in the last 6 months! Absolute carnage EVERY single Morning and Evening! 7 days a week!
And still the traffic queues
Went through a couple of weeks ago and lights had failed. No hold up at all 🤔
Traffic lights destroy traffic flow. Worse is traffic lights at roundabouts. Defeats the whole point of a roundabout!
I like the new cycle lane. More straightforward for me to access shops as well as getting across North Camp to the station and conference centre. Even walking on it was quieter than it was before.
Really big Lego
guys working "theres that fxxking drone again !!!" lol
OMG Finally They Now Adding Bricks To This Heath Bridge Now I'm So Happy (:
How much has been wasted on this mess?
Why has work been postponed? Any news on completion date?
Dangerously ( ? ) nearer to the ( pond ) than the old A3 .... ( 😝 ) ............... DAVE™🛑
Now have to negotiate J10 roundabout twice for RHS Wisley instead of once coming from the south. Spent £200m of tax payers money for the downgrade.
No access to that roundabout from northbound A3 unless you go through Ripley or all the way up to A3/M25 junction. Likewise no access southbound to A3 from that roundabout unless you pass through Ripley and to the roundabout leading to the spiral slip. Bit of an over sight those two missing slips not being built off and onto A3 there.
I agree I think they are going to have to review that, especially when Ripley gets the traffic calming installed
One big summer bottleneck in Ripley and every time Wisley has an event.
100% agree. I thought it was “obvious” that the Oakham roundabout would be connected to the A3 by four slip roads. The current layout seems to guarantee chaos. An absolutely stupid lack of good road design.
I thought they'd have picked up the pace of work on the main roundabout since the completion of works on the new RHS Wisley bridge/road. Very little visible change since the jet lanes opened though. The two new bridges over the M25 seem to have been untouched for weeks. Be nice to see these start to get hooked up with the expanded roundabout. I'm sure everyone on the project is working hard, there just don't seem to be large numbers working on it at any one time 🙄
And to think, Traffic will be just as bad on this Junction once the work has been finished, as more cars will be using it and the surounding areas havent been upgraded.
Its sure coming along now. Great video.
Thanks 👍
Great update video.
Looks narrow to me, huge pavement, but road looks narrow. 🤔
The pavement will also have a cycle path, hence the width.
Same as the new Wisley bridge on the A3, probably due to use by cyclists and pedestrians
I'm So Glad That They Are Installing Bricks For The Health Bridge
25 seconds in shows what happens when people try and cut the queue, or don't read the road signs.
Exactly.
A lot of drivers couldn’t stay in lane with the previous amount of lanes. Watch the mayhem when it’s finished, cause it’ll be as bad as it regularly is on the northbound M3 slip to the M25. Personally I avoid and go cross country, safer.
@@captainzapppp I use to joke that I don't go anywhere near it, unless going straight over or straight under, when the great ball of fire is in the sky. Unfortunately this time of the year . . . . .
What a lot of flooding! Is that the cause of the delay? If I lived in those new houses I think I’d be seriously worried.
I'n not sure, but given the weather this year, I think they have done well to get this far. As for the houses, it's not just the flooding, many of the owners of the houses on the new route didn't know their quiet little side road was going to be the main road through Ash.
They should have a word with the conveyancing solicitors who should have found that in the legal searches. Someone said it has been planned for many years and before the houses were built. I do feel for the house with the huge sign out the front of it.
@@aviewthroughthelens I sort of agree. I knew the rough route of the new bridge long ago. Before planning was granted on the houses. But, from what I can understand, from consumer programs on Radio 4. Buyers of new builds are bullied into using the builder's own solicitor. There is no way on this planet I would do that, but clearly many do.
It’s more than likely a flood plain and that’s why houses haven’t been built there before... these days planners don’t seem to worry about little details like that!
@@lfo2vco I was bought up very close to this site. The land just north of the rail line often flooded, hence the new culverts, to take the stream that is there. North of the stream the land rises, so the new houses should be fine. But there is a traveller site, that is in the flood plain, clearly viable in the video. I believe they will be building on the south side when the bridge is done?. They didn't flood, but would be a muddy quagmire in winter and about where the new roundabout is there was a pond that was full even in a hot summer, this was filled in about 30 years ago. So I suspect the water table is just below the topsoil? I wouldn't want a house there.
Note the seriously bad back up queue on the A3 southbound to M25, even though the Left Turn direct Slipway onto M25 south is already open. The dangerous A3 queuing back up will remain, as most of the A3 Traffic has still to enter and wait at the roundabout to turn Right/ M25 North. Plain Dumb, should have been Motorway level Slipways all around.
Really interesting video. Can still only see around 8 to 10 cars getting through on the A3 North lights. No wonder tailbacks on the A3. I am struggling to see how much this new arrangement will improve that turn, even with wider bridges etc as you still have to cross 3 streams of traffic. Looking forward to your videos when they do finish though. Thanks
The worst part is going from the A3 n/b to anti clock M25 - bad traffic management throughout on this.
I’ve just driven this route today after almost exactly a year. Hardly anything has changed and still massive tailbacks on anti-clockwise off-slip still with the makeshift roads. I reckon it will be at least another couple of years so getting on for six in all. Why is it taking so long??
Took us 30minutes to get from Ripley to the M25 last Thursday mainly due to people cutting in from the free flowing left lane.
@ is that the last of the temporary track lanes or will it be like that permanently now?
Looks good but, leaving the M25 clockwise onto A3 south is the only part still with traffic lights, so there’s no benefit at all, hopefully that’ll change once completed
Coming along now all the work. Great video.
Thanks 👍
The traffic in the video was flowing really well. It doesn't when I'm around!
Great video. Coming along now.
The left lane from the A3 to M25 clockwise is a special BMW/Audi lane. It allows them to get all the way to the traffic lights then cut in at the last minute. Must be nice to be special.
I drive an Audi and can manage to do it properly so the brand of car is no excuse. It is the mentality of the driver and a sense of entitlement over everyone else.
@@aviewthroughthelensI'm sure you realise the OP is connecting the attitude you mention with the type of car often favoured by such people, rather than the other way round!
Took 30minutes today from passing over the Ripley roundabout to the lights at the junction and most of that was due to people cutting in at the end when they realised that the left hand lane only goes left
Something is off with the formatting. Only displays in portrait which misses half the captions.
This is a short. If you click the related video link you will see the full landscape video.
Short
Short
I just wish the chaos would end soon.
I don't see much chaos, it's away been slow thought there. I have recently driven through this on both the A3 and the M25. There is modest distribution. But compared to other major upgrades they are doing a brilliant job
And the moaning... 😉
It will in a couple of years. Then in 2028 they will finally realise that the interchange needs a Motor way level interchange, and it will be roadworks for another decade.
How many years/months have they had to sort this out, and then with just days to go, they announce another 2 month delay to the opening, further inconveniencing thousands of people every day? Why do so many civil engineering projects end up being a complete shambles?
There is a similar circular feature at Southampton Airport, which was apparently used to test helicopter blades.
9 extra weeks and a cluster fuck of disruption. Lose , lose .
Residents have received a letter saying that the opening of the bridge has been delayed until next year, date to be announced.
I moved nearby in the mid 1990s. Not long after the demolition started and the town centre has been a building site ever since, with no end in sight. 30 years plus of disruption, noise and dust and how many more to go? What with Aldershot being almost abandon with the destruction of the British Army, its a depressing part of the country to live in
When is it going to be open to traffic?
Next week I think.

What time of day was this filmed? Took us 40 minutes last week, to get from Wisley car park, along the A3 to junction 10.
This was a Saturday morning
Rob, Did you have to take down the video accessing Wisley from the south via B2215?
I didn’t have to, but I was very politely asked to do so to save the residents the pain of loads of traffic. It was done in such a nice way I had no issue in doing so.
Thank you for this video. How do you get back on A3 when exiting Wisley (going towards Guildford)?
Back onto the A3 North and round the M25 Junction is the National Highways suggested route
@@joeysnowdon6738 Alternatively go south on the B2215 through Ripley until you eventually get back to the A3.
That route is plain stupid. There ought to be a northbound exit from the A3 to the Oakham roundabout. This solution wastes time, fuel and is certainly not green. Worst of all why spend millions improving Junction 10 only to direct even more traffic through the roundabout? This makes getting to Wisley from the South much worse than before all the “improvements”.
Absolutely agree.
@@aviewthroughthelens Yep, need to remember to go through Ripley in future.
Indeed, I wonder how many tonnes of extra CO2 emissions (and other pollutants) this roundabout (pun intended) route will cause?
Hopefully they will re-think and look at putting in the on and off slip roads at Ockham Hill and saving Ripley from all the through traffic in both directions.
How long did that take in real time?
About 8 minutes
I went from M25 Clockwise to A3 south last night for the first time in months and pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to queue.
We want to be at the opening ceremony on the 23rd November. What time is it? Here is our fun tribute to the Ash rail crossing : ua-cam.com/video/CbAVhz78EQE/v-deo.html
I loved the bit where you don't drive over the new bridge.
So coming from Guildford on the A3 can I get onto the Ockham roundabout then onto Wisley? Google maps don’t seem to show that .
I’m not qualified to go abroad if I have roadworks to deal with M27 J5 to J7 resurfacing M27 J10 Upgrade and the M3 J9 Upgrade
