Article from The Guardian (published Weds 6 March):
The first full closure is across the weekend of Friday 15th March at 9pm to Monday 18th March at 6am.
The National Highways press release (dated 5 March) is here.
The National Highways page for the M25 J10 project has more info including the diversion route:
www.nationalhighways.co.uk/m25j10
Future closure dates have not been announced, but the next one is due to take place in April (likely the weekend of 19 to 22 April) and then three more before the end of September. I'd imagine they'll all be across weekends but that's not actually been stated as such.
I'd expect some pretty heavy jams - all definitely best avoided!
Motorists warned of long delays as M25 to shut for roadworks
Five-miles of London orbital motorway will close for an entire weekend with four more dates to follow
Drivers have been warned of unprecedented traffic jams with the first planned full closure of part of Britain’s busiest motorway, the M25, in March.
A five-mile stretch of the London orbital motorway will be shut for an entire weekend from late 15 March, affecting the journeys of an estimated 200,000 vehicles.
Work to widen the roads, including demolishing a bridge and installing a gantry, will shut the motorway in both directions between junctions 10 and 11 in Surrey for the longest planned closure of the M25 since it opened in 1986.
