A map shows the latest delays near the M25 diversion as the motorway shuts for maintenance work, with heavy traffic on West Byfleet along Parvis Road in Surrey as well as the A243 and A3.
Traffic was also slow moving on the M25 approach to the A243 after Highways England said increasing number of drivers had been “ignoring” an official diversion around the M25 motorway closure.
London’s orbital motorway, the busiest in the UK, is closed this weekend between Junctions 9 and 10 for maintenance work. This section of the motorway reopens at 5.30am on Monday.
National Highways said it was “good progress” on installing a new gantry and a new gyratory bridge on a section of the motorway.
Diversion routes take cars on a 19-mile journey on A roads, crossing from Surrey into London’s Ulez area, though National Highways has assured drivers “no enforcement action will be taken” against those who follow official routes.

M25 roadworks ‘progressing well’
Roadworks on the M25 in Surrey are “progressing well” as the motorway remains shut in both directions between junctions nine and 10, National Highways has said.
The M25’s weekend closure on Britain’s busiest motorway has been in place since Friday from 9pm while concrete beams for a new bridge are installed. It will reopen at 6am on Monday.
On Sunday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, National Highways said that “work is progressing well” and urged drivers to “please follow the official diversion routes to manage traffic flow effectively”.
