M25 J11 clockwise exit slip shut overnight for planned roadworks

The clockwise exit slip road at Junction 11 of the M25 was closed from 03:05 on Sunday 11 October 2026 for planned roadworks, according to live National Highways data reported by M25traffic.co.uk [1]. The closure is scheduled to remain in force until 05:00 tomorrow, matching the estate's own monitoring alert that first flagged the works as active. The site is listed among just two live roadworks currently running on the motorway, alongside a closure of the A282 northbound exit for the A206, both reported at the same 03:05 timestamp [1]. National Highways' overhead signs in the same window also showed a "QUEUE AHEAD" message for clockwise traffic between Junctions 10 and 11, set at 02:53, suggesting traffic was already building ahead of the closure before it took effect [1]. There is no indication this is anything other than routine maintenance. The source lists it as one of eight further closures scheduled across the motorway network, and gives no cause beyond "roadworks" [1]. National Highways' incident data showed zero accidents logged for the period, despite an unrelated overhead message reading "LEFT TUNNEL CLOSED" that had been set earlier, at 00:53 — a separate notice that does not appear connected to the J11 slip closure [1]. A second source, londontraffic.org, lists a long run of planned M25 closures but none of its entries correspond to the J11 clockwise exit slip closure happening now; its most relevant nearby entries concern J10 and other junctions, dated from late June and early July 2026 — several months out of step with this week's work [2]. That mismatch suggests the second source's roadworks list is either stale or covers a different maintenance cycle, and it should not be read as corroboration of tonight's J11 closure; it simply has nothing current to add. One point worth flagging on the record: the fetched page text for source [1] is formatted as a live, auto-updating traffic feed rather than a conventional news report, and it repeats itself heavily — the same roadworks and overhead-message entries appear twice in the raw material. Nothing in either source attempts to instruct or redirect this article, but the repetition in [1] reflects the scraped nature of the page rather than an edited bulletin, and the reported figures (timestamps, counts of accidents and roadworks) should be read as a snapshot taken at 03:07 on the morning in question. For drivers, the practical upshot is narrow: anyone exiting the M25 clockwise at Junction 11 before 05:00 will need to find an alternative exit, with likely knock-on queuing back towards Junction 10 given the overhead warning already in place [1]. No lane closures on the main clockwise carriageway are mentioned, only the exit slip itself, and no incidents or accidents have been recorded in connection with the closure [1]. What to watch next: confirmation after 05:00 that the slip road has reopened on schedule, and whether the queuing flagged between Junctions 10 and 11 clears without further overhead alerts.
