UK's busiest motorway hit by string of closures for 48 HOURS this weekend sparking 30-min delays for 1,000s of drivers
THE UK'S busiest motorway will be hit by a string of closures this weekend sparking delays for thousands of drivers. Multiple diversions have been put in place by National Highways as drivers are warned to plan ahead. 1 Drivers will not be able to enter or exit the M25 at Junction 10 from tonight until Monday morning. All entry and exit roads on the Wisley Interchange, Surrey, will see a full weekend closure. National Highways have said: "The Wisley Interchange junction 10, including all entry and exit slip roads, will be closed in its entirety from 9pm on Friday 16 May to 6am Monday 19 May 2025. "While the A3 and M25 will both remain open, the slip roads off and on the junction won't be, meaning you won't be able to leave or join the M25 or the A3 AT junction 10." As a result, traffic is expected on the M25 and surrounding areas with a number of diversion routes put in place. These diversion routes are thought to be between nine and 12 miles long. With light traffic, it is estimated each route should add between 20 and 30 minutes to drivers' journeys. National Highways is enforcing the closure of Junction 10 slip roads for essential works. This includes putting the finishing touches on the road surface for motorists. The final resurfacing works on the gyratory is expected to be the last planned full weekend closure at the interchange. Drivers have been warned to plan ahead and think about alternative routes they can take. Alternative routes may include the M3, M23 or A24 to get onto the M25 from the south.

Some of these will cut through the Byfleets, Old Woking, West Clandon and Leatherhead. The M25 junction 10 and A3 Wisley Interchange is the busiest section of the M25, with over 300,000 vehicles travelling through it every day. The ongoing works at junction 10 are due for completion in spring 2026. This is to reduce congestion, create a smoother flow of traffic and provide safer journeys for thousands of drivers. This has included several bridge demolitions and the building of new ones crossing the A3 and M25, connecting the four quadrants surrounding junction 10 for the first time. Environmental improvements are also being made to the area including the restoration of heathland and planting of new trees and woodland.
