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.
With an unprecedented closure of the M25 this weekend, a National Highways chief has advised motorists to find something to do at home like "decorate the bathroom" or "play in the garden."
They have also been urged to ignore satnavs and stick to diversion routes if they do travel while the works take place.
This will be the first scheduled daytime all-lanes shutdown on the M25 since it opened in 1986, with National Highways planning to demolish a bridge and install a new gantry.
Diversion routes
The local diversion route below will be in place which is the same for both directions:
- Junction 10 - Junction 11: North bound A3 to Painshill Junction, A245 towards Woking, and then A320 to M25 Junction 11.
- Junction 11 - Junction 10: A320 south towards Woking, A245 towards Byfleet and Painshill junction, Southbound A3 to Junction 10.
Taking the M25 in the other direction to avoid our closure is also an option.
Either way, if you do travel, leave a lot of extra time for your journey.
There is more information for motorists on the National Highways website.
