M25 MOTORWAY AND A282 TRUNK ROAD TEMPORARY TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS
Notice is hereby given that Highways England
Company Limited intends to make an Order
on the M25 Motorway and A282 Trunk Road in
the County of Kent, and the Unitary Authority
of Thurrock, under Section 14(1)(a) and 14(1)
(c) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984
because works are proposed to be executed
on the road.
The effect of the Order would be, in phases, to:-
1. authorise the overnight closure of 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;
2. impose an overnight 50 mph speed limit on
the lengths of carriageway and slip roads
described in 1. above;
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 and
A282, or by using the A2, A13, and the A102.
A copy of the M25 Cyclical Maintenance
Programme and the intended diversion routes
are available from the Customer Contact
