Aerials show closed M25 motorway section and road works

A five-mile stretch of the M25 motorway between junctions 10 and 11, which has been closed in both directions and will remain inaccessible until 6am on Monday while a bridge is demolished, and a new gantry installed. Concerns have been raised that thousands of drivers will be stuck in gridlocked traffic over the weekend during the first planned daytime closure in the motorway’s history. Report by Blairm.
