The M25 in Surrey has reopened eight hours earlier than planned, bringing relief to motorists following a planned closure for bridge demolition and installation works.
The five-mile section of the London Orbital Motorway between junctions 10 and 11 had been closed since 9 pm on Friday, with the initial plan to keep it shut until 5:30 am on Monday to facilitate the demolition of a bridge and installation of a large gantry. However, to the surprise and delight of many commuters, the motorway was reopened in both directions just after 10 pm on Sunday.
