M25 Faces Second Full Weekend Closure in May with Extended Diversion Routes

The upcoming closure between Junctions 9 and 10 is part of a series of planned upgrades, including new bridge installations, aimed to improve traffic flow and safety.

The M25 will be closed from May 10 to May 13, marking the second of five scheduled weekend closures this year.
Diversion routes will be significantly longer than previous closures, with specific paths designated for over-height vehicles.
Up to 6,000 vehicles per hour normally traverse the affected sections, with officials urging only necessary travel during the closure period.
The closure is part of a £317m improvement scheme expected to complete by summer 2025, enhancing junction layouts and traffic capacity.
National Highways advises drivers to plan their journeys in advance and allow extra time due to expected delays.
