Great video as usual - thanks for producing it. I'm slightly obsessed by your footage of this project! Are you able to share a source for the Wisley Lane bridge opening date announcement? I can't see anything on the National Highways website.
@@aviewthroughthelens The opening date will be on the National Highways website and elsewhere quite shortly. We are cautious in putting too much up at once - the north facing jet lanes last weekend, installing Clearmount bridge scheduled for 2nd November and then targeting opening the new lane as Rob suggested. Just a small point though. Rob referred to speed calming bends. It was actually so the bridge was square on the approach to Stratford Brook, (an area which floods badly) and then further bends to keep clear of the heavily protected ancient woodland between the new Wisley Lane and A3.
@@jonathanwade1214 Johnathan, good evening, I have a question for you about the new Wisley Lane bridge and road down to Ockham Roundabout, why was it not considered necessary to put a slip roads in at the Ockham roundabout both onto the A3 South and from the A3 North as part of this project, without those 2 very simple additions it means that all Wisley Traffic both from the South and to the the South will travel through the Village of Ripley to access the Wisley Gardens. I am sure the villagers will be delighted to get loads of A3 traffic back through their village when they have not had to endure that for decades since the Ripley bypass was opened many years ago. And as I expect your answer and the Highways England would say well go north again and traverse the new gyratory at the M25 which is a ludicrous idea as all the work that's been done will not help the queues that form daily as the traffic is worse now at that junction than it was before you started 2 years ago. We went through there yesterday and the cues A3 Northbound are some of the worst I have ever seen since I first travelled that route in the 1960s, so how will two new bridges that replace the old ones make any difference at all, we will still have to queue at multiple traffic lights to do a 180 to go south again. The jet lanes have made no difference to the amount of queuing traffic northbound on the A3 as it still has to merge with the traffic also joining to go M25 Westbound from other directions. Why are there not 2 lanes on each of the slip roads to join the motorway?
Very helpful… thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

It came from Jonathan Wade the project manager who commented on one of my videos. Thank you for your views and comments.
