DRIVERS are bracing for travel chaos – as a motorway used by hundreds of thousands of Brits is set to close tomorrow.
A slew of other main road closures will be shut off from the public today – prompting carnage for motorists this weekend.
“The M25 clockwise exit slip at junction 28 will be closed for two weekends from 11pm Friday 8 November to 5am Monday 11 November and again at 11pm Friday 15 November to 5am Monday 18 November,” National Highways England said in a statement.
“The closures will be the next in a series of weekend closures needed, with more dates to be announced, to build the base for a new overhead gantry that will span the width of the M25.
“Over the next two weekends, we will be pouring the concrete foundations needed to support the gantry.”
If you are set to be travelling along these roads, it’s best to take note of the different diversions that are in place.
