Road bridge over M25 in Surrey closed all weekend

A road bridge over the M25 is closed all weekend with diversions in place due to roadworks.

National Highways South East says the closure, which began at 21:00 BST on Friday, is in place on the Cobham Road to re-waterproof the bridge and replace an 18-year-old joint.

The closure does not affect the M25 and the bridge will be reopened by 06:00 BST on Monday, the agency says.

A National Highways spokesperson said: "We're working closely with both major and local roadworks to ensure our closures and diversion routes are coordinated effectively."

This bridge is located on Cobham Road between Shamrock Close and River Lane in Fetcham.

Access to all nearby properties and businesses on both sides of the Cobham Road bridge will remain available.

However, motorists will not be able to drive across the bridge during the works.

The full diversion route is available here.

A second weekend closure of the bridge will be needed later in 2025, the agency says.
