GRAHAM has commenced work on the M25 junction 28 upgrades for National Highways – a major junction connecting the A12 and the M25, as well as providing access to Brentwood via the A1023
M25 junction 28 upgrades include the development of a two-lane loop road with a hard shoulder for traffic travelling from the M25 northbound carriageway anti-clockwise onto the A12 eastbound carriageway towards Essex.
GRAHAM will construct new bridges to take the loop road over/under the other road links and the Weald Brook. New signage and changes to the landscape will also be delivered.
GRAHAM will widen the M25 to allow for more capacity
The project team will widen the M25 anti-clockwise carriageway to provide more space for traffic leaving the A12 heading eastbound.
The positioning of the A12’s eastbound exit slip road and the M25’s anti-clockwise entry slip road will be altered to allow for the new loop road.
GRAHAM Highways director, Dave Brown, said: “We are pleased to have begun work on the upgrade of the M25’s junction 28.
“National Highways is a valued and longstanding client for GRAHAM, and this scheme will play a major role in improving journey times for those travelling on one of the country’s busiest junctions.
“We’ll be delivering the project with a collaborative and safety-led approach, working as part of an integrated team with National Highways to ensure the upgrade is completed with disruption to motorists minimised as much as possible.”
M25 junction 28 upgrades will provide safer journeys for thousands of drivers, cyclists and walkers
National Highways project manager Zach Pepper said: “These improvements will provide safer journeys for thousands of drivers, cyclists and walkers who use this route every day as part of our wider investment to enhance capacity at this vital junction.
“Improving the flow of traffic and allowing more capacity on the exit slip roads will provide a safer and more integrated network for everyone. There will also be less likelihood of traffic queuing back onto the M25 once this upgrade and reconfiguration of the junction is complete.”
Work is expected to take 36 months and is due for completion in summer 2025.
