Get ready for 'carmageddon' on the M25 as drivers face unexpected closure chaos!

The M25, London's iconic motorway, is set to experience a historic weekend closure between junctions 10 and 11, causing panic among drivers. National Highways, in a surprising move, has advised motorists to 'take the train' to avoid the impending traffic nightmare. This closure, the first of its kind since the motorway opened in 1986, is expected to create massive disruptions and gridlocks, urging drivers to prepare for long delays.

Furthermore, residents living near the diversion routes are stocking up on groceries in anticipation of 'absolute gridlock,' highlighting the anxiety surrounding the upcoming closure. With warnings of intense traffic on alternative roads, the impact of the M25 shutdown is reverberating throughout the local communities. The scheduled demolition of the Clearmount bridleway bridge adds to the spectacle, as National Highways rolls out their plan to ensure safe engineering practices.

As the closure dates between March 15 and 18 approach, fans heading to Reading are bracing for potential delays due to the shutdown. The closure is part of a series of planned weekend disruptions until September 2024, amplifying concerns about extended travel times and congestion. With fears of 'disruption' and 'gridlock' looming, drivers are advised to seek alternative routes and prepare for a challenging weekend on the roads.

In a twist of events, the closure of the M25 has sparked a wave of creativity, with National Highways boss suggesting drivers 'decorate the roads' during the shutdown. This unexpected advice adds a touch of humor to the situation, engaging motorists in a unique way. Additionally, RAC spokesperson Alice Simpson's insight on alternative routes hints at a potentially tumultuous month ahead, emphasizing the impact of the closures on traffic patterns and suggesting proactive travel planning.
