Rode up Box Hill yesterday evening. Beautifully smooth tarmac where they've resurfaced.

The resurfacing job isn't yet completed though, so expect the daytime closures to continue.

Funny then how the [url=http://www1.surreycc.gov.uk/highways/template3.cfm?id=4812&district=Mole%20Valley&town=MICKLEHAM&roadName=THE%20ZIGZAG&roadNo=D311]Surrey County Council link to the works[/url] reports "The road improvement scheme you are looking for has now been completed and is no longer listed."

Due to the exceptional levels of rainfall over the past couple of weeks the resurfacing works along the above road have been seriously delayed and so we are now not expecting to finish them until next the end of Wednesday 9 May 2012 but again this date is subject to weather conditions. No works will take place over the bank holiday weekend so the road will be open as normal. All other information re the diversion route and working hours remian as described below (see website)

Days of work: Monday to Friday. Road Closed

Times of work: 07.00 to 19.00

Should be ok to ride at the weekend - Murray

We drove up it after the TT on Tuesday to have a butchers. Looks OK until you get to the top - looks like they still have a section to do from the top of the hill to the Smith & Western.
