UK Road Closed: National Highways

Motorists in and around Slough are being advised to plan their journeys carefully due to an upcoming overnight closure on a key route. The section of the M25, located near Junction 16, will be closed from 10pm on August 7th until 5am the following morning. This closure is part of National Highways' ongoing maintenance programme on the Strategic Road Network.

Motorists are being advised to seek alternative routes to avoid the affected area. Those heading northbound towards Heathrow Airport or the M40 should consider diverting via the A308 or the A412, while southbound traffic may wish to take the A308 towards the M4 or the A312 towards the M25. It's essential to check traffic apps and websites for the latest updates before setting out.

The closure is necessary to facilitate essential maintenance works on the M25, which are essential to ensuring the continued safety and efficiency of this critical route. The works will be carried out by National Highways' teams, who will be working throughout the night to complete the necessary repairs.

Throughout the closure, National Highways will provide regular updates on the progress of the works and any changes to traffic conditions. Motorists can stay informed through National Highways' social media channels, their website, and by signing up for traffic alerts. It's also essential to check traffic apps and websites for the latest information, as these will often provide real-time updates on traffic conditions.

While some disruption is expected, National Highways is working hard to minimise the impact of the closure on motorists. By planning ahead and seeking alternative routes, drivers can help to reduce congestion and ensure a smoother journey. Those who do need to pass through the affected area are advised to leave extra time for their journey, as delays are possible.

National Highways is committed to keeping the Strategic Road Network in good condition, and this closure is a necessary step in ensuring the continued safety and efficiency of the M25. Motorists can help to support these efforts by reporting any issues or hazards they encounter on the network.
