Key bridge over Britain's busiest motorway to close for entire weekend
DRIVERS on Britain's busiest motorway will face disruptions over the weekend as a key bridge is closed for repairs. It will be the first weekend of two upcoming closures of the bridge that goes over the M25. 1 The bridge between Cobham and Leatherhead, near Stoke D'Abernon in Surrey will be shut from 9pm on Friday, June 27 until 6am on Monday, June 30. Motorists will be unable to get across the bridge during this time over the weekend. Access to nearby properties and businesses, however, will still be possible. Closure of the bridge is due to repair work to re-waterproof the structure, as well as replace one of its 18-year-old bridge joints. Drivers travelling through the area are therefore likely to face diversions and have to take longer routes. Fully signed diversion routes via Leatherhead will be in place during the closure. Southbound traffic coming from the Cobham direction will be diverted via: the A245 Woodlands Lane Woodlands Road Randalls Road eastbound Bull Hill southbound Station Road westbound B2122 Waterway Road Guilford Road southbound Cobham Road westbound Northbound traffic coming from the Fetcham direction will be diverted via: Cobham Road eastbound the B2122 Guildford Road Waterway Road northbound A245 Station Road westbound Station Approach northbound Randalls Road Woodlands Road Woodlands Lane westbound Navigating the M25 Closure: Diversion Tips & ULEZ Fee Warnings Some drivers should be aware of the railway bridge between Shamrock Close and River Lane in Fetcham where there is a 3.7 metre height restriction. Those affected should seek alternative routes. Another weekend closure is also scheduled for later in the year. This bridge closure also comes just up the road from the huge M25 junction 10 upgrade that has been happening. Last weekend, drivers were also unable to enter or exit part of the M25 at junction 10 on the Wisley Interchange in Surrey. This was due to work in restoring heathland and upgrading the junction with hopes of reducing congestion, improving safety and more reliable journeys. A further weekend closure for the A3 between junction 10 and the Painshill interchange, set for July 4 to 7.

Kirsty Scott, who owns refill shop Forest Friendly on Newerne Street, said the bridge opening was "perfect timing" for the summer holidays and tourist season."Business owners are [relieved], definitely, and I think people who own hot cars in this hot weather are too," she said."It's been eventful and I've seen a lot of traffic sitting outside. It seems quieter today because it's flowing in both directions." Joe Harris said "final work" to the bridge wall would be completed off-road, without causing traffic disruption."I do appreciate the impact of the closure on local residents and businesses and thank you again for your patience while we completed the essential repairs," he said."Thanks also to the team who tackled this challenging job which included diving below the bridge to check for structural damage."
