A five-mile stretch between junctions 10 and 11 in Surrey is closing from 9pm on Friday until 6am on Monday.
Aerial footage of the M25 showed relative calm on Friday evening, before an 'unprecedented' weekend closure of a section of Britain's busiest motorway. Drivers are being warned of massive delays this weekend, with the M25 shutting in both directions on a five-mile stretch between junctions 10 and 11 in Surrey. The closure began at 9pm on Friday, with the motorway set to reopen at 6am on Monday 18 March.
In the other direction, cars are being told to travel on the A320 south towards Woking, on the A245 towards Byfleet and Painshill junction, and then southbound on the A3 to junction 10. Drivers are being urged to ignore satnavs and only follow official diversion routes to prevent causing gridlock during an 'unprecedented' closure.
