M25 Junction 15 Anticlockwise Closures: 17-18 October and 24-25 October
Notice received from National Highways
We plan to complete preparatory works at M25 junction 15 over the next two weekends, ahead of the replacement of two bridge expansion joints starting in 2027.
To complete this work safely, the M25 junction 15 anticlockwise carriageway, above the M4, is scheduled to close overnight:
- From 8pm Saturday 17 until 10am Sunday 18 October 2026
- From 8pm Saturday 24 until 10am Sunday 25 October 2026
The M25 junction 15 clockwise carriageway, M4 eastbound and westbound carriageways, and all links between the M25 and M4 will remain open throughout the works.
During both closures, anticlockwise traffic will need to exit the M25 at junction 15. A signed diversion route will be in place via the M4 to rejoin the M25 after the closure:
- Follow the M4 westbound to junction 5
- Turn around at M4 junction 5 (Langley Interchange)
- Follow the M4 eastbound to rejoin the M25 anticlockwise via M4 junction 4b
We’re expecting the M25 and M4 interchange to be busier than usual on Sunday mornings. If you need to travel through the area, please allow additional time.
Green Lane Closure - October Half Term: 23 October to 2 November
Notice received from GRAHAM Group
As you will be aware, GRAHAM Construction are working on behalf of Surrey County Council to build a new, larger roundabout at the bottom of Holloway Hill, replacing the pre-existing dual mini roundabouts, increasing overall traffic flow.
To continue these works, UKPN need to carry out a utility crossing to one of their assets, beneath the road, at the entrance to Green Lane from Guildford Road.
Green Lane, where it meets Guildford Road, will be closed for 9 days while these works are carried out. The road will be closed for all hours of the day and have been timed to fall within local School’s half term. If excavation works reveal fewer underground services, utilities, or other obstructions than anticipated, there is potential for the road to reopen earlier than planned.
The road will be closed from 8pm Friday 23rd October to 5am Monday 02nd November, with no access permitted to any vehicles.
To clarify, no vehicles will be able to enter, or exit, Green Lane from Guildford Road during the dates listed above.
During this time, there will also be two-way lights on Guildford Road, adjacent to these works. We expect increased congestion around the area during the half term so please plan your journeys in advance, and we thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding for any inconvenience caused.
During the closure, a signed diversion route will be in place through Chertsey using:
- Guildford Road,
- Bell Bridge Road,
- A317 Eastworth Road,
- Chertsey Road,
- Green Lane.
