  M25 closures - see you next year!

  Thank you to everyone who changed their plans and took advice to avoid the Wisley to Chertsey stretch of the M25 last weekend while it was closed. As a result, we completed a critical piece of bridge installation and made significant progress with our improvements to junction 10.

  What’s also now important is there will be no more full weekend closures of the M25/A3 this calendar year. The two remaining closures will be next spring. We will give a minimum of four weeks’ notice for these closures so you can plan ahead, and we will avoid busy holiday periods.

  Please bear in mind the M25/A3 will still be closed at times over some weekends, and we will also be doing some 12 hour night closures on the M25 through the autumn.

  If you’d like to see more about what we did during last weekend's closure head to our page where we tell the story behind the closures. 

  Please check the ‘Upcoming closures’ section below for all our weeknight closures and lane restrictions so you can plan your journeys.

  Thanks again for your patience!

  M25 junction 10 - 11 open to traffic ahead of schedule

  We reopened both carriageways over 7 hours ahead of schedule after installing the west bridge and a superspan gantry.

  This weekend's works mirrored our second full closure in May, when we installed the bridge on the east side of the junction.

  Thank you for bearing with us during the work. We're very grateful to all of you who took our advice, avoided the closure and completed your journeys in other ways.

• 17 June 2024

  Announcing our third full weekend closure

  We can confirm that the M25 between junctions 10 and 11 will be closed from 9pm Friday 12 July to 6am Monday 15 July 2024.

  We need to close the motorway to install a new bridge on the roundabout at Junction 10.

  Only travel if necessary

  We’re grateful to all drivers who avoided previous closures and completed their journeys in other ways. We urge you to do the same again.

  If you do travel, expect delays and please leave a lot of extra time for your journey.

  Diversion route

  The local diversion route is the same for both directions:

  Junction 10 to Junction 11

  North bound A3 to Painshill Junction, A245 towards Woking, and then A320 to M25 Junction 11.

  Junction 11 to Junction 10

  A320 south towards Woking, A245 towards Byfleet and Painshill junction, Southbound A3 to Junction 10.

  Avoiding the closure by taking the M25 via the Dartford Crossing may also be quicker.

• 15 April 2024

  Announcing our second full weekend closure

  We can confirm that the M25 will be shut between junctions 9 (A243 Leatherhead) and 10 (A3 Wisley) from 9pm Friday 10 May to 6am Monday 13 May 2024.

  This full closure is needed to install a new bridge.

  Only travel if necessary

  We’re grateful to all drivers last time who avoided the closure and completed their journeys in other ways. We urge you to do the same again.

  Diversion routes

  A 19-mile diversion route will be in place which uses the A3 and the A240.

  Please follow the diversion and don’t follow your SatNav.

  Clockwise diversion for all but over-height vehicles:

  • leave M25 at junction 8, A217 (Reigate)
  • follow the A217 London, Sutton, (A240) Kingston
  • after 3½ miles turn left onto the A240 Epsom, Kingston
  • after 3 miles at the Esso roundabout, turn right onto the A24 (A240) Kingston
  • continue for 3 miles and at the Tolworth interchange turn left onto the A3 Portsmouth, Guildford
  • continue for 9½ miles to the M25 and re-join the motorway at junction 10

  Anticlockwise diversion for all but over-height vehicles:

  • leave M25 at junction 10 to join the A3 towards London
  • after 9½ miles at the Tolworth interchange leave the A3 turning right onto the A240 Epsom, Reigate
  • continue for 3 miles to the Esso roundabout and turn left onto the A240 Reigate
  • continue for 3 miles then turn right onto the A217 Reigate, M25
  • after 3½ miles turn left to re-join the M25 motorway at junction 8.

  Drivers using the signed diversion route won’t be subject to any Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges that may usually apply. The Ultra Low Emission Zone will remain in force on all other routes in London across the weekend.

  If you're driving an over-height vehicle you must follow a different diversion route to avoid a low bridge. This is your route:

   

  Further closures

  We intend to close the M25 for three more weekends this year.

  There will be no weekend closures in June.

  The remaining closures will take place between July and the end of 2024.

• 01 March 2024

  More details about our M25 closure

  Last weekend we closed the A3 for a full weekend and demolished two bridges.

  Our next weekend closure will be for more demolition work, this time on the M25.

  It means the M25 between junctions 10 and 11 will be closed in both directions from 9pm on Friday 15 to 6am Monday 18 March.

  Diversion routes

  The local diversion route below will be in place which is the same for both directions:

  • Junction 10 -  Junction 11: North bound A3 to Painshill Junction, A245 towards Woking, and then A320 to M25 Junction 11.
  • Junction 11 -  Junction 10: A320 south towards Woking, A245 towards Byfleet and Painshill junction, Southbound A3 to Junction 10.

  Taking the M25 in the other direction to avoid our closure is also an option.

  Either way, if you do travel, please leave a lot of extra time for your journey.

  We carefully plan all our closures to limit disruption, but sometimes it's not possible to carry out all the work that's needed without a closure. We have planned all our closures to avoid holiday periods and key events in the area.

  The work needs to be carried out now to continue the good progress on the delivery of the scheme which is due to open to traffic next summer.

  Announcing our next big closures

  

  Last weekend we completed Sandpit Hill bridge, the third of our eight bridges.

  It will be a few weeks before the bridge can be used as we still need to surface it, build the approach embankments and create the routes leading between Ockham Common, the bridge itself and Chatley Wood. Check back on this web page for when the bridge is available for use.

  We're now moving to a phase of work that involves some significant closures of the A3 and the M25.

  Please remember that closure details can change at short notice.  For the most up-to-date information, please visit our daily closures page. 

• 24 January 2024

  Completion of our third bridge

  This weekend sees the completion of the third of our eight bridges, which is Sandpit Hill bridge that will link Painshill to Ockham Common. At 91 metres long, this will be the longest bridge we will install on the project, and it will cross the M25 to the east of junction 10.

  Sandpit Hill bridge is for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders to safely travel between Ockham Common and Painshill. This is part of a new 5km route that will connect with many existing paths, tracks and bridleways that crisscross Wisley and Ockham Commons.

  We’ve been building the bridge supports that will carry the new bridge across the M25, and we’re now ready to install the second piece of the platform to complete the installation.

  Wisley Lane bridge beams installed

  Good news – we’ve successfully installed all ten pre-cast concrete beams for our new bridge over the A3 at Wisley Lane.

  Our teams worked around the clock all weekend while the road was closed to get everything in place and reach this important milestone. This meant manoeuvring a 750 tonne crane onto each carriageway in turn and lifting all of the 80 tonne beams into position.

  

  

  In the future, this bridge will provide a new, safer route for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and drivers between the A3 Ockham Park junction and Wisley Lane.

  Wisley Lane is the second of eight new bridges to have its beams installed in the last three months. The first one was down at Stratford Brook where this same route will travel across the smallest bridge on our scheme and meet up with the roundabout at Ockham Park.

  We understand there’s never a good time to do roadworks and the impact this has on the people who live near or travel through our work.

  Thank you for your patience over the last few days while we’ve been making our improvements.
