Good progress on M25 works, says highways agency

Roadworks on the M25 in Surrey are going to plan as the motorway remains shut in both directions between junctions nine and 10, National Highways has said.

The planned closure from the A243 Leatherhead to the A3 Wisley started at 21:00 BST on Friday and will be in place until 06:00 on Monday.

The road is shut so a new bridge consisting of 68 beams, each weighing 16 tonnes, and a further four beams weighing 40 tonnes can be installed.

National Highways said on Saturday it was “all looking good” on the first full day of the weekend closure.
