Update: M11 Junction 9 to 10: Bridge Repairs

National Highways are continuing their work to replace the expansion joints, re-waterproof and resurface the M11 junction 9 overbridge. This work will ensure the bridge continues to remain in a safe and serviceable condition.

 

The plan is to complete this work over 1 weekend from Friday 27 May, weather conditions permitting.

 

Traffic will be diverted as follows:

 

·         M11 junction 10 to 9 southbound, full closure

Friday 27May, 9pm to Monday 30May, 5am

 

Southbound traffic will be diverted off the M11 at junction 10 onto the A505 / A11. Exit the A11 using the A1307 slip road and return onto the A11 southbound to re-join the M11 at junction 9. Northbound traffic will follow the same diversion but in reverse.
