Multiple Major Road Closures Expected Across England This Weekend

Several road closures and partial shutdowns are planned across England over the coming days, affecting major routes such as the A35 near Bridport, A435 in Warwickshire, M25, A12, Dartford Crossing in Essex, M3 and M27 in Hampshire, and the A34 between Abingdon and Marcham. The A35 near Bridport will close temporarily for the Bridport Carnival Torchlight Procession, with diversions via the B3162. Warwickshire Police reported a four-vehicle crash on the A435 causing severe delays and partial closure. In Essex, multiple nighttime closures on the M25, A12, and Dartford Crossing are scheduled for maintenance and structural work, with height restrictions at Dartford Crossing tunnels. Hampshire’s M3 and M27 will see overnight carriageway and slip road closures to facilitate improvement and survey work. Additionally, the A34 southbound between Abingdon and Marcham will be closed overnight for barrier work, with further prolonged construction expected until late 2026, causing diversions and potential delays.
