MOTORISTS hoping to make a getaway next month are being warned the M25 is to be closed as work on junction improvements continues.
The advice is to expect delays and only travel if necessary.
National Highways is in the middle of a project to install a new bridge, and to help it is closing the motorway between junctions 10 and 11, between 9pm on Friday, July 12, and 6am on Monday, July 15.
The new bridge comprises 68 beams, each weighing 16 tonnes, and another four beams weighing 40 tonnes.
The previous closure in May saw identical work being carried out on the eastern gyratory.
Jonathan Wade, National Highways Senior Project Manager, said: “The previous two closures have gone well with significant progress being made during both.
“We would urge all drivers to follow the official diversion route as this is the best chance of reaching your destination in good time. Please ignore your satnavs and follow our diversion route instead.”
This is the third of five full weekend closures of the M25 to take place with a further two due later this year.
Diversion routes will be in place, but some motorists may find it easier to go clockwise around the motorway and use the Dartford Tunnel.
Diversion routes:
-
Junction 10 – Junction 11: exit the M25 at J10 and take the 3rd exit to the north bound A3 to the A245 Painshill Junction, A245 towards Woking, and Byfleet, then at the Six Crossroads Roundabout take the 5th exit to the A320 continuing to M25 Junction 11 where the diversion will end.
-
Junction 11 – Junction 10: exit the M25 at J11 and take the 3rd exit to the A320 south towards Woking, then at the Six Crossroads Roundabout take the A245 towards Byfleet, continue on the A245 to the A3 Painshill junction, then take the 3rd exit to the southbound A3 to Junction 10 where the diversion will end.
