A MAJOR motorway is being completely shut for a second time — with even worse disruption this time.
Seven miles of the M25 will be closed between junctions 9 and 10 in Surrey over the weekend of May 10 to May 13.

Drivers are being urged to avoid the entire area.
The stretch was first closed for a weekend last month to allow for works on a new bridge.
But National Highways said diversion routes this time will be longer — and will be different for over-height vehicles.
National Highways senior project manager Jonathan Wade warned that the next shutdown will be “far from a repeat of the previous closure” as the diversion routes are “longer and there will be different for over-height vehicles and all other traffic”.
He added: “Drivers listened to our advice last time which reduced motorway traffic levels by over two-thirds and meant delays were limited.
“Our advice again is please only travel if absolutely necessary and make sure you give yourself extra time if you do choose to use the M25.”
The closure in March was the first planned daytime shutdown of the M25 since it opened in 1986.
