A National Highways chief has advised motorists to find something to do at home like 'decorate the bathroom' or 'play in the garden' ahead of an unprecedented closure of the M25 this weekend. Drivers have been warned to stay away from a five-mile stretch of the motorway in Surrey between junctions 10 and 11, which will be shut in both directions from 9pm on Friday until 6am on Monday.
'If you can, avoid driving anywhere around those diversionary routes.' Five M25 closures in total planned this year Mr Wade continued: 'Secondly, we have planned a total of five complete closures of the M25, so this is the first of five. 'Three of those closures will be between junctions 10 and 11 - the A320 at Chertsey... and two of them will be between junction 9 at Leatherhead to junction 10 at Wisley.
