Welcome to our latest update on our improvements to M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange.
Development Consent Order given the green light
We recently welcomed the Secretary of State for Transport decision to grant us a Development Consent Order, which allows us to proceed with our project to improve the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange.
This junction is one of the busiest on our network, with almost 300,000 journeys every day. Due to the volume of traffic and the resulting queues, the junction and the surrounding roads have a high number of incidents. Our improvements will deliver much needed additional capacity, better connectivity for people and businesses, and safer journeys for everyone.
This work will generate more than 400 jobs, including around 20 apprenticeships and graduate jobs, and deliver an environmental legacy that will restore rare heathland in Ockham and Wisley Commons for years to come.
We are pleased that the Examining Authority’s recommendation report also included measures to mitigate the potential impact on Ripley. We look forward to working with Surrey County Council, Guildford Borough Council, Ripley Parish Council, and other interested parties to agree these measures.
Our next step is to submit the documentation required to allow for the planning conditions (requirements) to be discharged. We are expecting this to be completed in early June.
You can view the full decision documents on the Planning Inspectorate website.

Start of construction and preparation work
While our main work will start in mid-September and be completed by Summer 2025, we'll be carrying out some work to help prepare for construction from mid-June. This preparation work will reduce the risk of any delays, and includes:
- Construction of our site compound at Nutberry Fruit Farm in June, and our compound at Wisley Airfield in July
- Trial and bore hole surveys to confirm the locations of existing utilities and reduce the risk of finding any surprises. This work will be carried out at night and, in some locations, we will need to close footpath or road lanes.
- Utility diversions at both Ockham interchange and Painshill junction, these will require traffic management to be put into place
- Preparation work on Elm Lane
- Installation of CCTV
