Drivers should be aware of multiple closures at the Dartford Crossing this month, impacting travel plans significantly.
Dartford: So, here’s the scoop. This month, the Dartford Crossing is going to be a bit of a hassle for drivers. They’re doing maintenance work, and it’s going to affect travel on three weekends.
Starting from January 11, the QEII Bridge will be closed overnight on Saturdays. The west tunnel is also getting some love with closures during the week for inspections. It’s all happening from 10 PM to 6 AM, so plan accordingly!
While the west tunnel is closed, the east tunnel will be open for northbound traffic. But if you’re driving a tall vehicle, you might need to take a different route. They’ve got height restrictions in place, so keep that in mind.
Here’s a quick rundown of the closures: the west tunnel will be closed on various nights, and the QEII Bridge will be shut on Saturdays from 10 PM to 5 AM. Make sure to check the schedule to avoid getting stuck!
And if you’re wondering about diversions, they’ve got those sorted too. Smaller vehicles can use the east tunnel, while taller ones will need to take the M25 clockwise. Just stay alert and follow the signs!
