Turnover also rose substantially, from £219.7m to £261.9m.\n\nThe M25, one of the UK’s so-called “shadow toll” roads, carries some 15 per cent of the UK’s total motorway traffic.It means the government takes the bill for using the motorway off the hands of drivers, paying a per-vehicle fee to its private operators.Connect Plus’s bumper earnings come despite a number of significant weekend closures this year and problems with traffic jams on the M25.Closures have occured in March, May and July this year to make room for construction work intended on boosting the routes’ capacity.\n\nThe March closure, when engineers were brought in to demolish the Clearmount Bridleway bridge between junctions 10 and 11, marked the first-ever planned daytime all-lane closure of the M25.Connect Plus itself did not make the decision to close the road earlier this year, however due to the nature of its contract, revenue growth will have been impacted by any reduction in vehicle numbers.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2484614832"}
