Answered by Lilian Greenwood
National Highways are due to complete the main works at the Painshill roundabout and junction 10 of the M25 by Summer 2025 however, there will be other minor works including environmental enhancements that will be completed towards the end of 2025.
To ensure timely completion of works, National Highways are closely monitoring the construction programme and are working with the supply chain, local authorities, and utility providers to ensure the programme is on schedule. Additionally, to minimise disruption National Highways are undertaking some of the works overnight and at weekends when traffic volumes are low, and they are also retaining the number of lanes available during the day to maintain traffic flows. Furthermore, National Highways are promoting information about road closures in advance to allow customer to use alternative routes or other forms of transport when necessary.
