M25

Drivers in Surrey are facing a week of disruption as works begin on the M25, M23, M3 and A3. Local outlet Surrey Live has published a roundup of where and when the roadworks will take place, warning motorists to plan ahead and expect delays on key routes around London and the Home Counties.

Drivers on London's M25 are facing severe disruption, with multiple incidents reported across the motorway. A van fire blocked the road and caused huge queues, while crashes in Essex led to 60-90 minute delays with emergency crews at the scene. In Hertfordshire, lanes flooded amid heavy traffic, and multiple lanes were closed due to a reported defect, leaving parts of the orbital route gridlocked.
