M25 Faces Second Major Weekend Closure Amid Bridge Construction

Motorists are urged to adhere to diversion routes as the M25 shuts down between junctions 9 and 10, with potential disruptions due to high weekend temperatures.

  • The M25 closure, part of a series of five, aims to facilitate the construction of a new bridge, requiring extensive diversions through Surrey and Greater London.
  • Traffic flow reduced significantly during the previous closure, but authorities warn against complacency given the more complex nature of this weekend's work.
  • Drivers ignoring official diversion routes risk incurring ULEZ charges, with heightened enforcement around compliance.
  • The closure coincides with potentially the hottest day of the year, exacerbating travel disruptions as more motorists may hit the roads.
  • Special arrangements are in place for certain destinations within the closure zone, including escorted access to specific service areas.
