The Trust is now starting the preparation works for its new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at East Surrey Hospital, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
As part of this early work, the Trust is working with its contractors to connect underground mains utilities to what will be the new UTC site. To support this safely, a temporary one-way traffic system will be introduced at the main entrance of East Surrey Hospital from Monday 1 June to Tuesday 23 June.
During this period:
- Canada Avenue will become one-way, and you will not be able to exit the site to the Three Arches Road roundabout during the works.
- The only exit from the hosptial will be via our south exit (Canada Drive) onto Three Arches road. You can also enter from here, but the road will be closed from goods in to the roundabout on Canada Avenue.
- A road closure will be in place (highlighted in red on the map below)
- Bus services will remain fully operational throughout
All other traffic will be diverted via the South exit onto Three Arches Road, excluding:
-
Buses
-
Main entrance drop-offs and pick-ups
-
Emergency vehicles
There will be additional signage on site to support the flow of traffic.
Alex Stamp, Chief Operating Officer for Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust said:
“While we have worked with our local partners, including Metrobus, the council and the ambulance service, to schedule these essential works that will support the building of our new Urgent Treatment Centre. We recognise this will cause disruption and additional congestion at peak times on our East Surrey Hospital site."
“We are working to minimise this as much as possible and encourage all visitors and patients attending the hospital to allow extra time for their journey.”
