This area faces yet another series of slip road closures[/caption]
Those travelling through Surrey region face closures around the at the M25/A3 junction, preventing drivers from joining or leaving either road at junction 10.
These measures will be in place 10pm on Thursday until 5.0am on Friday, and again from 9pm on Friday until 6am on Monday.
This isn’t the first time that Surrey commuters will have to re-think their route.
The planned closures have taken place for two of three weekends as the work to expand the junction rumbles on.
The three-year project is costing an eye-watering £317million and some of the work is expected to trickle into 2025.
The next set of slip closures are due to take place between 1 and 4 November.
This comes after motorists were blocked from using the M4 from October 19 to 6am on October 21.
The disruption is planned due to maintenance work on the A432 Badminton Road Bridge.
Fortunately, a diversion route will be in place, but drivers are warned to expect major congestion.
However, officials have advised motorists to avoid the area if possible while the work is being done.
The Badminton Bridge is set to be demolished next year after an investigation found irreparable damage to the structure.
Officials revealed that demolition was considered the quickest and most economical approach.
During the closure, workers will build trenches beneath the motorway to divert utilities currently within the bridge.
If the planned work isn’t completed within the given timeframe, drivers could face another set of M4 closures from 7pm on October 25 to 6am on October 28.
Sean Walsh, National Highways route manager, said: “This is one of the busiest sections of the motorway in the South West which is why we are giving drivers as much notice as possible so they’re able to plan their journeys well in advance.
“Our message for anyone who plans to travel on the M4 around Bristol is to avoid the area if you can – if that’s not possible, allow yourself plenty of extra time to complete your journey via our signed diversion routes and expect delays.”
