M25 Motorway And A13, A282 And A1089 Trunk Roads Temporary Traffic Restrictions

Notice is hereby given that National Highways has made an Order on the M25 Motorway and A13, A282 and A1089 Trunk Roads in the County of Kent, and the Unitary Authority of Thurrock, under Sections 14(1)(a), 14(1) (c), and 14(7) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 because works are proposed to be executed on the road. The effect of the Order is, in phases, to:-

1. authorise the overnight closure of -

(a) sections of both carriageways of the M25 and A282 between Junction 30 (A13) and Junction 2 (A2), and all slip roads leading to and from this length;

(b) both carriageways of the A13 between Wennington Interchange (A1306) and Baker Street Interchange (A1089);

(c) both carriageways of the A1089 between Baker Street Interchange (A13) and the road leading to and from Tilbury Docks;

(d) any slip and link road leading to and from the lengths of carriageway described in 1. (b) and (c) above;

(e) the circulatory system at the entire circulatory system at A13 Lakeside Junction (A126) and A1089 Asda roundabout; and

(f) the hard shoulder adjacent to the lengths of carriageway and slip roads in 1. (a) above.

2. authorise the overnight use of the hard shoulder adjacent to the lengths of carriageway and slip roads described in 1. above.

3. permit HGVs in the outside lane of the lengths of carriageway described in 1. (a) above, during inside-lane closures.

These measures are in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake maintenance and renewal work of a cyclical nature and M25, A13, A282 and A1089 project works.
The duration of each closure will vary depending on the nature of the maintenance work being undertaken on each occasion. The programme of works will start on or after 3rd January 2023. The overnight closures will be in operation between (maximum period):
Monday - Thursdays 22:00 - 05:30 (Dartford Crossing - 20:30 - 05:30) Fridays 23:00 - 06:00 (Dartford Crossing - 21:00 - 06:00)

Saturdays 22:00 - 06:00 (Dartford Crossing - 20:00 - 05:00)

Sundays 22:30 - 05:30 (Dartford Crossing - 20:30 - 05:30)

Planned maintenance work will be scheduled to avoid disruption during known peak periods, although essential maintenance may be necessary during these periods to prevent the need for emergency works. In such cases less disruptive options will be considered. The Order will come into force on 2nd January 2023 and shall remain in
force until 24th December 2023.

Traffic affected by the closures will be diverted via other junctions of the M25, A13, A282 and the A1089, or by using the A2, A13, A102, A282, A1012, A1013, A1306, Lodge Lane, Old Dock Approach Road and Wood View. The diversion in operation will vary according to the closure in force, and the roads listed above are the agreed routes, but these may change depending on local conditions.

The temporary closures, hard shoulder and HGV outside lane running and diversion routes will be clearly indicated by traffic signs when they are in operation during the works period.
