THREE key routes used by thousands of motorists are set to shut over the bank holiday weekend.
The closures may spark travel chaos and could impact those hoping to get to and from Heathrow Airport.
The M25, the M3 and the A3 are all undergoing major construction works which could impact your journey.
The beginning of the bank holiday week will see a myriad of closures, particularly on link roads to other busy highways like the M40.
This could impact those driving to and from Heathrow Airport, or into Surrey and London.
Fortunately for drivers there appears to be minimal overnight road closure throughout the bank holiday weekend.
This means travelling late at night or early in the morning during the weekend should run relatively smoothly.
To prepare for closures check the list below.

It comes as staff at London City Airport are threatening to walk out – for the first time ever sparking fears for more travel chaos.
Ground handling staff face going on strike at the UK airport over a dispute in regards to pay.
The 120 Gatwick Ground Services (GSS) staff members, represented by the GMB union, are not directly employed by the airport.
However, they are demanding a 17 per cent pay increase, who claim current pay falling below the London Living Wage.
If the strike goes ahead, it will be the first of its kind for the airport.
GMB regional organiser Daren Parmenter told Travel Weekly: “Our members are very angry and upset.
“They work in central London and every other employer at London City pays the London Living Wage. GGS [Gatwick Ground Services] don’t pay anywhere near it.
“They need to uplift our members pay by 17 per cent to be on a par with Gatwick.”
He added that staff at London Gatwick have better pay, despite not being in the capital city.
He said: “It would close the airport if they took strike action.”
