"Arial","sans-serif"">People travelling to and from the Royal Surrey County

Hospital in Guildford could be in for another month of travel misery, as works

by energy company EDF in the area are likely to continue until the end of September.

EDF has been laying 4km of new cables near the roundabout

in Egerton Road. The works, which started in mid-August, have led to regular

snarl-ups around the Hospital and the nearby Surrey Research Park, especially at peak travel times.

Get

Surrey reports that some commuters have faced delays of up to

two hours when leaving work. Speaking to the website, an EDF spokesperson said “EDF apologises for the recent traffic tailbacks caused

by our work at the roundabout.”

“We recognise this is a busy

area and programmed the project during the summer holidays to minimise the

impact,"

“We also worked closely with

our contractor, the local authority and Surrey Research Park to keep disruption

to a minimum.”
