M25 J11 clockwise exit slip shut overnight for planned works

A scheduled closure of the clockwise exit slip at M25 Junction 11 is now in force and expected to run until 05:00 tomorrow — worth knowing before any early journey that direction.

The clockwise exit slip road at Junction 11 of the M25 was closed from 07:35 this morning, according to [1], as part of planned construction works. The closure is listed as active and due to remain in place until 05:00 tomorrow. The closure was confirmed by live M25 traffic data sourced from National Highways, updated at 07:37 on Sunday 11 October 2026, according to [1]. The same feed logs the closure as one of seven roadworks-related items currently showing on the route, with one roadworks scheme listed as active live on the M25 "right now" and a further six listed as planned, according to [1]. Alongside the J11 closure, overhead signage on the motorway was also showing queue warnings in both directions this morning. An anti-clockwise "queue ahead" message was set at 07:31, a clockwise "fog slow down" message was set at the J10 exit slip at 07:22, and a clockwise "queue caution" message was set at 07:16, according to [1]. The material does not establish whether any of these messages are connected to the J11 works, and no accidents were reported on the M25 at the time of the update, according to [1]. Beyond confirming the timing and status of the closure, the source material gives no further detail on the nature of the construction work itself, the reason for the closure, or the expected scale of disruption to traffic using that slip road. It is also worth noting that the source page contains a large volume of generic boilerplate about M25 traffic reporting in general, rather than specifics of this closure — including repeated, near-identical timestamp lines and general commentary on why roadworks are often carried out overnight. None of that additional text adds any confirmed detail about the J11 closure beyond what is noted above. For readers planning to use the clockwise carriageway at Junction 11 before 05:00 tomorrow, the exit slip should be treated as unavailable, with traffic likely to be diverted via the next junction. The source attributes its information to National Highways data, which it describes as its primary and usually reliable feed for roadworks reporting, according to [1]. What to watch next: whether the closure lifts on schedule at 05:00, and whether any of the queue warnings logged this morning develop into a reportable incident.
