M25 Slammed Shut in Surrey as Flooding Brings Chaos
Clockwise Closure Between J7 and J8
The M25 in Surrey is completely closed clockwise from Junction 7 to Junction 8 near Reigate after severe flooding. Highways England Traffic Officers are already on the scene.
Delays and Diversions Causing Gridlock
Drivers face brutal delays of up to an hour and 7 miles of congestion leading up to the flooded stretch. A specialist clean-up team is on its way to tackle the mess.
Traffic is being diverted off the M25 at J7 onto the M23 northbound towards Purley. But beware – expect extra delays on this alternative route too.
Plan Ahead or Find Another Way
If you’re travelling through the area this afternoon, allow plenty of extra time or seek a different route altogether. This flood disruption is set to cause widespread misery for commuters and motorists alike.
