Parapet replacement M25 Chorleywood UK
United Kingdom – Work to replace parapets on the M25, junctions 17 to 18 at Chorleywood, will begin on 30 May 2006 and be completed by 31 October 2006.
The existing parapets will be replaced by new parapets in line with current standards, which will improve safety on the flyover.
During the 24-hour working there will be three narrow lanes and a 40mph speed restriction and no hard shoulder in both directions for the safety of drivers and the workforce. Night time lane closures and slip road closures will also take place for some work on the parapet replacement.
During the full closures of the slip road leading to the anti-clockwise carriageway of the M25 from the A404 at Junction 18, traffic will be diverted to Junction 19 on the clockwise carriageway, leaving at Hunton Bridge roundabout (A41/A411) and return west to the anti-clockwise carriageway on the M25 to Junction 18.
Highways Agency project sponsor, Paul Williams, said: "We are replacing the existing parapets with ones in line with current safety standards. This will improve the safety for users of the M25."
