Major M25 Crash Shuts Anti-Clockwise Carriageway Between Junctions 10 and 8
Serious Lorry Smash Causes Chaos Overnight
A huge crash on the M25 has forced the closure of the anti-clockwise carriageway between Junction 10 (A3) and Junction 8 (Reigate). Surrey Police say the incident happened just before 11:50pm on Sunday when a lorry smashed into the central reservation and ended up sideways across the road.
Thankfully, no injuries were reported. But the damage to the road surface is severe, meaning lengthy repairs and disruption are on the cards.
Full Closure and Road Repairs Underway
All four lanes of the carriageway will be shut from 11:00am on Monday, 6th January 2025, for up to five hours as resurfacing work takes place. A specialist engineer is inspecting the road ahead of the urgent repair work.
Traffic is being rerouted via the A240 and A217. National Highways warns drivers to expect delays and to find alternative routes where possible.
Expect Delays – Plan Your Journey
With the closure expected to last into the afternoon, drivers are braced for severe delays, especially during rush hour. Both Surrey Police and National Highways urge motorists to plan ahead.
