Warning - M25 closures from 9pm this Friday
More info available elsewhere. This is just a "heads up" for those unaware.

It’s the busiest junction on the busiest motorway in the country. But at 9pm on Friday, the traffic will disappear completely from a five-mile stretch of the M25 as it closes for roadworks during daytime for the first time in its history.
The London Orbital will be shut in both directions between junctions 10 and 11 until 6am on Monday, as part of a £317 million engineering project to build a new interchange with the A3, improving safety, congestion, and even, according to National Highways, the local environment.
Up to 6,000 vehicles an hour bound for Heathrow, Gatwick and the Channel ports will be diverted to adjoining roads in Surrey, causing widespread traffic jams. Motorists have been advised to stay away.
They had better get used to the disruption. There will be a further four weekend closures between now and September, on dates yet to be decided, to allow work to continue. The aim is to complete it by summer next year.

sorted byI got caught up in these works when taking my daughter to Gatwick at 4am a few months ago. The diversions were a real pain as I could have avoided it all had I been aware. It's going to be a nightmare
