M25 to shut during England game: RAC advice for drivers
RAC Breakdown spokesperson Alice Simpson said: “This weekend’s M25 closures could present a ‘red card’ for drivers heading home from Wembley Stadium on Friday night. With junctions 10 to 11 shutting at 9pm, just before the sold-out England game finishes, heavy congestion is almost inevitable for those traveling back to Sussex and Surrey. We encourage football fans to seek alternative routes where possible or use public transport to minimise queuing in traffic.
“The same advice applies to anyone using the M25 to visit London for the weekend or holidaymakers heading to Gatwick and Heathrow, both of which are easier to travel to by car. It’s absolutely essential that drivers follow the official diversion routes, rather than relying solely on their sat navs, to avoid being led off-course. Plan your route before you set off, leave even earlier than usual and make sure your vehicle is road-ready, checking your oil and coolant levels and ensuring your tyres are properly inflated.”
