From 9pm on Friday 10 May until 6am on Monday 13 May, a seven-mile stretch between junctions 9 and 10 in Surrey will be shut in both directions.
There are warnings that drivers will face fresh delays next month after a second full weekend closure of the M25 was announced. It comes just a few weeks after a nearby section was shut so a bridge could be demolished in what was the motorway's first-ever planned daytime closure since it opened in 1986. This will be carried out so concrete beams for a new bridge and gantry can be lifted into place.
There were fears of severe congestion on diversion routes along A roads ahead of the first closure of a five-mile stretch between J10 and J11 in March. But many drivers followed advice to avoid the area, meaning long hold-ups were avoided. National Highways senior project manager Jonathan Wade has warned the next shutdown will be 'far from a repeat of the previous closure' as the diversion routes are 'longer and will be different for over-height vehicles and all other traffic'.
