A217 Westvale Park to Gatwick - shared cycle/footway (permanent plans)

The Department for Transport (DfT) announced a £250m emergency funding package to support active travel. Whilst initial temporary measures are being implemented (phase 1), we are now looking ahead to larger scale works which permanently support active travel and enable a bold step change in Surrey for active travel.

Surrey have submitted a bid for a possible £6.75m in this second phase of works.

Location : This route is located on the A217 Reigate Road between the A217 / Westvale Road roundabout to the A23 roundabout at the approach to Gatwick Airport. The scheme links the new Westvale Park housing development at the northern end to the Longbridge Roundabout at the southern end of the scheme.

Measure/s to be introduced : The scheme proposes a shared cycle/footway facility (segregated from motor traffic), in the verge, along the A217. Additionally, an enhanced toucan crossing facility will be provided at the A217/ Mill Lane junction.
