Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

The M25 anticlockwise will close at junction 15 near Heathrow from 8pm on Saturday 31 October to 10am on Sunday 1 November for planned works. The closure was originally scheduled for 24 and 25 October but was postponed because of forecast adverse weather conditions.

The anticlockwise carriageway will be closed between the M4 slip roads. The M25 clockwise carriageway and all links between the M25 and M4 will remain open. Drivers on the anticlockwise route must leave at junction 15 and follow a signed diversion westbound on the M4 to junction 5, then turn around at the Langley Interchange and travel eastbound to rejoin the M25 anticlockwise through M4 junction 4b.

Drivers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time. The busiest period is expected on Sunday between 8am and midday, when delays are anticipated on the M25 after the closure is removed. People should consider travelling earlier or later, or using alternative routes and public transport. For Heathrow Airport, options include the Heathrow Express and Elizabeth Line. Further works will take place on weekday nights between 10pm and 6am, with traffic diverted to M4 junction 4 and back.
