The effect of the Order would be, in phases, to:
1. authorise the overnight closure of sections of both carriageways of the M25 between Junction 14 (A3113/Heathrow Spur Road) and Junction 26 (A121), and all slip roads leading to and from this length;

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

4. impose an overnight temporary 10 mph speed restriction while traffic is escorted through the works area by a convoy system, on the lengths of carriageway described in 1. above.

These measures would be in the interests of road safety while contractors undertake Programmed Cyclical Maintenance (drainage, lighting, signage, inspections and surveys, maintenance and clearance of vegetation, litter picking and clearance, road sweeping, emergency crossing point maintenance and clearance of injurious weeds). The duration of each closure would vary depending on the nature of the maintenance work being undertaken on each occasion. The programme of works would start on or after 14th April 2018. The overnight closures would be in operation between (maximum period):
Monday-Thursdays 22:00-05:30
Fridays 23:00-06:00
Saturdays 22:00 - 06:00
Sundays 22:30-05:30
The Order would come into force on
14th April 2018 and shall remain in force until
23rd December 2018.
Traffic affected by the closures would be diverted via other junctions of the M25, or by using the M4, M11, M40, A1, A1(M), A4, A10, A41, A404, A405, A406, A412, A414, A1081, A3044, and the A3113.
