Transport minister Sadiq Khan has officially started the multi-billion pound work to widen key sections of the M25.
The first stage of work is to widen between junctions 16 to 23, while work between junctions 27 to 30 will also begin next month. The Highway Agency awarded the £6.2bn design, finance and operate contract to consortium, Connect Plus, last month.
Khan said: ‘This vital scheme will tackle the nuisance of congestion, improve journey time reliability and safety and help boost the productivity of our businesses. Everyone who uses these important stretches of motorway, whether business or leisure travellers, will benefit from the massive investment.’
