Exciting Progress on the Guildford to Godalming Greenway

Work is now underway on the Guildford to Godalming Greenway (GGG) – a transformative scheme designed to improve active travel infrastructure between Guildford, Godalming, and the communities in between.

Spanning over 7km, the Greenway aims to make walking, wheeling, and cycling safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable.

Key benefits include:

Improved safety and accessibility for all users
Better journey quality for walkers, cyclists, and wheelchair users
Health and wellbeing benefits through increased physical activity
Enhanced access to green spaces across the local area

Phase 1 Construction Begins

In 2023, a successful funding application was submitted to Active Travel England to deliver Phase 1 of the scheme. This phase will provide immediate benefits as a standalone project, while also forming part of the wider Greenway network to be delivered in future phases, subject to further funding. Construction of Phase 1 began on 13 January 2025, focusing first on the A3100 between B3000 New Pond Road and Broadwater Lake.

Improvements include:

Widening the western footway for a shared walking and cycling route
A new signal-controlled crossing near Tilthams Corner Road
Raised road tables at the entrances to the Rugby Club and Broadwater Lake

Additional construction phases are planned later in 2025, with dates and further details to be shared with residents and stakeholders as soon as they are confirmed.

This is an exciting step towards a safer, healthier, and more connected active travel network – stay tuned for further updates on our webpage – Guildford to Godalming Greenway – improvements to active travel infrastructure – Surrey County Council
