Overview
- The M62 eastbound between Junctions 18 and 19 closed overnight for emergency resurfacing after a February 10 HGV fire, with a signed diversion via the M66 and local roads and reopening targeted for Thursday morning.
- Two collisions minutes apart on the M25 in Surrey between Junctions 9 and 11 created combined delays of up to two hours on February 11, then moved into recovery with only lane four closed as congestion gradually eased.
- Later on February 11, the M25 clockwise was stopped between Junctions 16 and 17 after a multi‑vehicle crash, and drivers were sent on a diversion via the M40, A40, A412 and A405 with clearance estimated for early evening.
- A collision involving three HGVs on the M6 southbound between Junctions 7 and 6 closed three of four lanes and caused long queues before two lorries left the scene and recovery progressed.
- On February 12, a shed load of kerb stones on the M5 between Junctions 9 and 10 closed lane three in both directions with 45‑minute delays, the M6 northbound shut at Tebay after an HGV hit the central barrier with no serious injuries, and late‑night M4 westbound lane closures near Junctions 2 and 3 added about 30 minutes to journeys.
