M25 and A3 closures drivers will want to avoid this week

Drivers in Surrey will need to prepare alternative routes due to overnight road closures this week. Maintenance work and repairs are set to be carried out on the M25^[1] and the A3.

Major routes^[2] affected include the M25 Staines’^[3] junction 12, which leads onto the M3 up to junction 2. This means drivers will need to join the M3 further down at the Bagshot Interchange.

Work along the A3, near Milford and Hogsback, could cause disruption for commuters in the morning near Guildford^[4]. Diversions are usually put into place while roads are shut for maintenance, which can add extra time onto journeys^[5].

Most of the closures scheduled for this week will be in place from between either 9pm to 5am, or 10pm to 6am the following morning. Those travelling in the morning should be aware that work can sometimes overrun.
