Kingston to Tolworth
What is happening when?
Kingston to Tolworth - Stage 1: Penrhyn Road
The route runs between Kingston College Roundabout and Surbiton Road via Penrhyn Road. Construction works commenced in January 2019 and were completed in 2020. The project has transformed facilities for cyclists and extended the cycling network southwards between Kingston Town Centre and Surbiton. The northern end of the route connects with the Wheatfield Way scheme, while the southern end of the route links to the Surbiton to Kingston scheme at the junction of Surbiton Road and Surbiton Crescent. The Penrhyn Road section is the first stage of the Kingston to Tolworth scheme to be constructed.
Kingston to Tolworth - Stage 2: Ewell Road
In November 2018, the council's Environment & Sustainable Transport Committee agreed to proceed with stage 2 of the Kingston to Tolworth scheme on Ewell Road. Design of this stage was undertaken in 2019, and construction of this project began in January 2020.
The works are being undertaken along the A240 Ewell Road between the intersections with St Marks Hill (B3370) and Tolworth Broadway. The works are proceeding in phased sections, and works may be carried out in more than one location at any one time. In general, two-way vehicle access will be maintained along Ewell Road during the works. However, should any diversions be required, notification letters will be sent and clear signage will be in place.
The first phase of the Ewell Road project between St Marks Road and Browns Road was completed in 2020. Construction of the second and third phases are planned to take place in stages between Tolworth Broadway and Browns Road in 2021. Construction of the second phase began in Tolworth during the spring of 2021.
To deliver the Ewell Road project a section of Fishponds Park located on the Ewell Road frontage is being used as a compound for roadworks staff and material storage. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. The area will be occupied throughout 2021 and into 2022. After the completion of the project the area will be fully reinstated including any necessary landscape and planting works.
The plan and timescales for the works along Ewell Road are developed with Transport for London and coordinated with other work planned by utility companies wherever possible in order to minimise disruption.
