Drivers are warned that the QEII Bridge at the Dartford Crossing will be closed overnight this weekend, for routine maintenance work.
The bridge will be shut between 11pm and 6am on Friday night (March 11) and between 10pm and 6am on Saturday night (March 12).
Traffic will be held briefly each evening and morning, as the diversions are set up and removed.
During the road works, southbound traffic will be diverted through the east tunnel - and northbound traffic will be reduced to one tunnel, with a height restriction of 4.8 metres.
The southbound entry slip road at junction 31 will also be closed, with a diversion via junction 30.
The works are taking place to allow bridge beatings - components which allow the structure to expand and contract with changes in temperature - to be replaced.
