en.Wedoany.com Reported - Winvic Construction has been appointed by Guildford Borough Council to deliver the next phase of road works for the Weyside Urban Village project in Surrey. The brownfield regeneration scheme will provide 1,650 new homes, healthcare and community facilities, employment space, and green areas.

Winvic will upgrade existing roads around the Slyfield Industrial Estate, one of the main access routes to the new village. Works include road reconstruction, resurfacing, drainage improvements, service cable diversions, and complex traffic management. Construction has now commenced and is scheduled for completion in winter 2026.

This appointment marks the third contract between Winvic and Guildford Borough Council. In 2023, Winvic secured a £14 million contract to deliver 35,000 cubic metres of earthworks remediation to support the wider redevelopment of the site.

Subsequently, Winvic was awarded a second contract to deliver a series of off-site road works. To date, three projects have been completed, with two more underway. Works include installing new pedestrian and cycle crossings, creating a bus lane, road widening, and converting an existing roundabout into a signalised junction, scheduled for completion in early 2027.

Throughout the project, Winvic will continue to fulfil the social value commitments outlined in Guildford Borough Council's policies, leaving a positive legacy locally through employment, training, STEM education, and volunteering programmes.

Rob Cook, Managing Director of Municipal and Infrastructure at Winvic Construction, said: "We are delighted to have been appointed to deliver this latest phase of infrastructure works at Weyside Urban Village. Building on our experience from the wider regeneration scheme, we look forward to delivering these important road improvements to support the development of the new community. We remain focused on creating long-term social value through local employment, skills development, and engagement opportunities."
