Drivers on the M25 face travel chaos this weekend due to a closure at junction 10 and Dartford Tunnel overnight works.
The M25 will be closed from junction 10 (Wisley) to junction 11 (A320 Chertsey) this weekend – the final weekend closure as part of the upgrade works.
It clashes with England’s Fifa World Cup qualifying match at Wembley on Friday, drivers were warned.
Junction 10 will shut from 9pm on Friday, March 21, and it is set to reopen by 6am on Monday, March 24 – just in time for the morning rush hour traffic, says Metro.
The Wisley Interchange junction area has been undergoing a £317,000,000 upgrade since 2022 to add more lanes and new bridges to the busiest section of M25 – but the works have been delayed due to ‘extreme weather’ last year, National Highways said.
National Highways urged drivers to ‘think carefully about travel plans during this closure.’
It said the diversion routes were busier during the previous March 7-10 closure’than on similar closures last year.’
Drivers should use the motorways and nearby roads only if ‘absolutely necessary,’ allow extra time and follow official diversions instead of your sat-nav, National Highways said.
