https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/south-east/m25-junction-10/

Latest updates
- 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
- We advise drivers to only travel this stretch if necessary.
- This closure involves a different stretch from the closure which took place in March and this time a 19-mile diversion route will be in place which uses the A3 and the A243.
- We expect long delays. We were so grateful to all drivers last time who made the closure a success by avoiding the stretch and completing their journeys in other ways. We urge drivers to do the same again. If you do have to travel this stretch, please follow the diversion and do not follow your SatNav. Drivers using the signed diversion route will not be subject to any Ultra Low Emission Zone charges that may usually apply. The Ultra Low Emission Zone will remain in force on all other routes in London across the weekend
- 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. We will be in a position to announce the date of the next closure as soon as the May closure is over.
- This closure is for the installation of a new bridge consisting of 68 beams, each weighing 16 tonnes, and another 4 beams weighing 40 tonnes.
- Jonathan Wade, National Highways Senior Project Manager, said:“This is far from a repeat of the previous closure, as the alternative routes are longer and will be different for over height vehicles and all other traffic.“Drivers listened to our advice last time which reduced motorway traffic levels by over two thirds and meant delays were limited.“Our advice again is please only travel if absolutely necessary and make sure you give yourself extra time if you do choose to use the M25.”
- The Junction 10 improvement scheme will see an increase in the number of lanes to make journeys safer and new junction layout to improve traffic flow. It will also make it easier and safer to enter and exit the M25, and reduce the pollution caused by traffic jams.
- Diversion routes:Diversion route clockwise 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.
