Work to re-waterproof and resurface the bridge carrying the M25 anti-clockwise carriageway between Junction 31 (Lakeside) and Junction 30 (A13) is scheduled to take place throughout summer 2024.
The first stage of this work is set to begin this weekend. One of the northbound Dartford Crossing tunnels and several lanes between the Dartford Crossing tunnel exits and M25 Junction 30 (northbound/anti-clockwise) will be closed from 8pm, Saturday 16 July to 10am, Sunday 7 July, for essential maintenance and repairs.
During this period, all traffic will be directed through the adjacent Dartford East Tunnel, continuing in lane three between M25 Junction 31 and Junction 30.
