We reopened the M25 eight hours ahead of schedule following a complex bridge demolition operation this weekend, involving the installation of a large gantry weighing in at 128 tonnes and spanning 63 metres. The closure required to carry out the work was the first ever since the M25 opened in 1986! This latest milestone builds on the progress we’ve already made on the M25 Junction 10 improvement scheme, having recently demolished both the Wisley Lane and Cockcrow footbridges. Another great achievement for our team of experts who have worked tirelessly alongside National Highways to complete the works safely and successfully. On completion, the scheme will increase the number of lanes to make journeys safer and to improve traffic flow; in turn, reducing the pollution caused by traffic build up. Read more here:
