With Independence Day approaching, the U.S. travel landscape faces a perfect storm of disruptions. Increased travel volume, ongoing roadworks, and potential weather-related issues threaten to cause widespread travel chaos, affecting millions of travelers nationwide. From heavy congestion on major highways to potential flight delays and cancellations, travelers are advised to plan ahead, allow extra time for their journeys, and be prepared for potential delays.
Motorists traveling on the M25 this weekend are advised to anticipate significant delays due to a 10-mile closure from Junction 9 to Junction 10. The closure will begin on Friday evening and continue until Monday morning to facilitate the installation of a new bridge. The closure falls during the warmest period of the year thus far, with temperatures expected to reach 24°C, potentially increasing traffic volume. Traffic is expected to be diverted over a 19-mile route, potentially congesting local roads and complicating access to nearby attractions and major airports. Travelers are urged to use alternative routes or postpone their journeys if possible.
