Drivers are being warned of major disruption as a busy stretch of the M25 in Kent is set to close overnight on three separate weekends for essential resurfacing works.
During the closures, drivers heading anti-clockwise will be diverted off the M25 at Junction 2, routed through the Darenth Interchange roundabout, and rejoin the motorway using the Junction 2 anti-clockwise entry slip road.
Travel Disruption Expected
The closures are part of “essential resurfacing” efforts to maintain the safety and reliability of the motorway, one of the UK’s busiest routes.

Motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys. Delays are expected, particularly for traffic travelling towards Dartford and surrounding areas.
In addition to these closures, the QEII Bridge at the Dartford Crossing will also close overnight this Saturday. The bridge connecting Essex and Kent will be shut from 10pm until 5am on Sunday, April 27, for routine maintenance and safety inspections.
