A stretch of the UK's busiest road will shut again in Surrey this weekend - with drivers being told to expect delays, and only travel if necessary.

There'll be no access to the M25 between junction 11 at Chertsey and junction 10 at the A3 turn off.

Before this project, a full planned closure in both directions hadn't happened before.

National Highways are asking people to try and avoid the area but if not to follow the official diversions.

Jonathan Wade, National Highways Senior Project Manager, said:

“The previous two closures have gone well with significant progress being made during both.

“We would urge all drivers to follow the official diversion route as this is the best chance of reaching your destination in good time. Please ignore your satnavs and follow our diversion route instead.”

This is the third of five full weekend closures of the M25 to take place with a further two due later this year.

Locals, holidaymakers, concertgoers and sports fans should plan their journeys in advance and make sure they allow extra time or make alternative travel arrangements.

Diversion routes

Junction 10 - Junction 11: exit the M25 at J10 and take the 3rd exit to the north bound A3 to the A245 Painshill Junction, A245 towards Woking, and Byfleet, then at the Six Crossroads Roundabout take the 5th exit to the A320 continuing to M25 Junction 11 where the diversion will end.

Junction 11 - Junction 10: exit the M25 at J11 and take the 3rd exit to the A320 south towards Woking, then at the Six Crossroads Roundabout take the A245 towards Byfleet, continue on the A245 to the A3 Painshill junction, then take the 3rd exit to the southbound A3 to Junction 10 where the diversion will end.
