Surrey Highways warns of delays on M25 diversion route
Drivers have been asked to avoid areas in Surrey due to congestion caused by a partial closure of the M25.The stretch of motorway between junction 10, near Wisley, and junction 11, near Woking, has been shut in both directions until 06:00 GMT on Monday for improvement works.Traffic was queueing for about two miles on Saturday on the approach to both junctions and there were delays on the diversion route through Byfleet, West Byfleet, Woking and Ottershaw."Please avoid the area if you can, check for updates before leaving and leave plenty of time for your journeys," Surrey Highways said.
It is the latest in a series of closures between the two junctions as part of a severely delayed £317m project to add extra lanes.Work began in 2022 but was pushed back due to bad weather, National Highways previously said. It is now scheduled to end in spring 2026.The work this weekend involves demolishing a bridge at junction 10.The same stretch of road will be closed again from 21 to 24 March.
