Hillingdon road closures: five for motorists to avoid over the next fortnight

Hillingdon's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.

And one of them is expected to cause moderate delays – with drivers facing a holdup of between 10 minutes and half an hour.

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:

• M4, from 8pm December 8 2023 to 6am January 13 2024, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M4 both directions, junction 5, slip road and lane closures for inspection work.

And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:

• M40, from 10.15pm January 3 to 6am January 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M40 northbound, junction 1 to junction 2, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• M25, from 10.15pm January 3 to 6am January 4, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M25 anti-clockwise, junction 16 to M40 northbound, junction 1a, Lane closure on link road for maintenance works.

• M25, from 9pm January 10 to 5am January 11, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M25 clockwise to M40 northbound, link road, Lane closure for maintenance works.

• M25, from 10pm January 12 to 5am January 13, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): M40 southbound, junction 2 to junction 1A, link road closures and lane closures for maintenance works, diversion via National Highways roads.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
