Major roadworks at a heavily congested junction will cost an extra £600,000 and be carried out overnight, Surrey County Council says.

The Meadows gyratory system improvements in Camberley, originally forecast to cost £5m, will now cost an extra £646,000 because of delays caused by the M3 smart motorway scheme and a decision to carry out the work outside of peak hours.

Cabinet will confirm on 1 May who the contract is being awarded to and has timetabled works to begin on 1 June, with a completion target of 12 months.

At a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, councillor Colin Kemp, member for highways, said: "This work is vital to the local area. This will not only improve local journey times to local residents, it will support economic growth for local businesses for the future."

Both the man and the child were treated in hospital, with the baby kept in overnight as a precaution.
