The M25, Britain’s busiest motorway, has reopened ahead of schedule after a weekend of disruption caused by the installation of a new bridge. The closure, which affected both directions between junctions 9 and 10 in Surrey, forced drivers to endure a 19-mile diversion while concrete beams were installed for the new structure.
Initially planned to reopen at 6am on Monday, the motorway was fully operational overnight, seven hours ahead of schedule. National Highways confirmed the completion of the works in a post on social media, stating that traffic was “flowing well in both directions.
