Notice is hereby given that Highways England Company Limited has made 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 is, 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 are 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 will vary depending on the nature of the maintenance work being undertaken on each occasion. The programme of works will start on or after 14th April 2018. The overnight closures will 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 will come into force on 14th April 2018 and shall remain in force until 23rd December 2018. Traffic affected by the closures will 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 Centre on 0300 123 5000 or email at info@highwaysengland.co.uk.
