Essex Drivers Brace for Traffic Chaos This Weekend: M25, A12, and Dartford Crossing Closures
Ugh, the weekend. Time to relax, right? Not if you're an Essex driver. This weekend, a triple whammy of road closures is set to make getting around a right pain in the neck. Get ready for major delays and traffic nightmares if you're planning on driving through Essex, the M25, or the Dartford Crossing.
M25 Closures: A Weekend of Frustration
The M25 is already notorious for its traffic jams, and this weekend's closures will only add to the misery. Starting Friday evening, several sections of the M25 will be closed for roadworks. This includes junctions 27-30, with both clockwise and anticlockwise carriageways affected. The closures are expected to last until Monday morning, making it a long, traffic-filled weekend for anyone travelling through these sections.
A12 Delays: Brace for the Backup
Adding to the M25 madness, the A12 will also be experiencing closures this weekend. While the exact location and times of these closures are still being confirmed, prepare for major delays and congestion along this route.
Dartford Crossing: The Final Blow
You thought things couldn't get any worse? Well, hold onto your hats. The Dartford Crossing will also be partially closed this weekend. While the exact details are still being finalized, drivers should expect significant delays and potential queues at the crossing.
Plan Ahead, Stay Informed, and Stay Calm
It's a perfect storm of road closures this weekend. The good news? You can prepare for it. Check the official website for the latest updates and road closure information. Plan alternate routes, factor in extra travel time, and consider using public transportation if possible.
And most importantly, stay calm. It's going to be a challenging weekend for Essex drivers, but with a little planning and patience, you can hopefully avoid the worst of the traffic chaos. Happy (and hopefully traffic-free) driving!
