Drivers should plan ahead before hitting the roads this weekend as there are a number of motorway closures in place.

There are closures planned for parts of the M25, as well as the Dartford Crossing, overnight throughout the weekend.

Meanwhile, the A12 through Essex and Suffolk is also facing closures, which could cause disruption for drivers as it is one of the busiest roads in the region.

If you were planning to use these roads this weekend, make sure to check out the diversion routes before setting off.

We’ll have the latest planned closure information for the UK’s major roads, as well as live traffic and travel updates, in our live blog below.
