Major motorway closed after lorry fire sparking huge delays for thousands of drivers
A MAJOR motorway has closed after a lorry burst into flames on the M4 in Berkshire westbound. National Highway has warned that the carriageway between Junction 12, Reading, and Junction 13, Newbury, is closed. Multiple fire crews are battling to bring the blaze under control as thick black smoke has forced traffic on the eastbound side to a standstill too. Officers are at the scene helping to manage the gridlocked traffic, which is backing up for miles. Motorists are being urged to avoid the area and allow extra time for journeys. National Highways said: "If this closure impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time. "Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey." Diversion Route National Highways said road users are advised to follow the Hollow Square diversion symbol on road signs: Exit the M4 at J12. At the roundabout take the 1st exit and join the A4. Continue on the A4 for approx.12.5 miles, to Newbury. At the A4/A339 roundabout use the 3rd exit and join the A339. Follow the A339 for approx. 2.5 miles, merging with the A34. At the Chieveley interchange use the nearside lanes for the M4 J13 roundabout. At the J13 roundabout take the 1st exit and re-join the M4 westbound. 1

Key bridge over Britain's busiest motorway to close for entire weekend
DRIVERS on Britain's busiest motorway will face disruptions over the weekend as a key bridge is closed for repairs. It will be the first weekend of two upcoming closures of the bridge that goes over the M25. 1 The bridge between Cobham and Leatherhead, near Stoke D'Abernon in Surrey will be shut from 9pm on Friday, June 27 until 6am on Monday, June 30. Motorists will be unable to get across the bridge during this time over the weekend. Access to nearby properties and businesses, however, will still be possible. Closure of the bridge is due to repair work to re-waterproof the structure, as well as replace one of its 18-year-old bridge joints. Drivers travelling through the area are therefore likely to face diversions and have to take longer routes. Fully signed diversion routes via Leatherhead will be in place during the closure. Southbound traffic coming from the Cobham direction will be diverted via: the A245 Woodlands Lane Woodlands Road Randalls Road eastbound Bull Hill southbound Station Road westbound B2122 Waterway Road Guilford Road southbound Cobham Road westbound Northbound traffic coming from the Fetcham direction will be diverted via: Cobham Road eastbound the B2122 Guildford Road Waterway Road northbound A245 Station Road westbound Station Approach northbound Randalls Road Woodlands Road Woodlands Lane westbound Navigating the M25 Closure: Diversion Tips & ULEZ Fee Warnings Some drivers should be aware of the railway bridge between Shamrock Close and River Lane in Fetcham where there is a 3.7 metre height restriction. Those affected should seek alternative routes. Another weekend closure is also scheduled for later in the year. This bridge closure also comes just up the road from the huge M25 junction 10 upgrade that has been happening. Last weekend, drivers were also unable to enter or exit part of the M25 at junction 10 on the Wisley Interchange in Surrey. This was due to work in restoring heathland and upgrading the junction with hopes of reducing congestion, improving safety and more reliable journeys. A further weekend closure for the A3 between junction 10 and the Painshill interchange, set for July 4 to 7.
