The Dartford Crossing will be closed tonight as the toll booths are removed.
The QEII bridge will be fully closed, with signed diversions in place via the Blackwall Tunnel.
Dart Charge project director Nigel Gray said: “This weekend see's the start of massive changes at the Dartford Crossing and by tomorrow morning we will have southbound traffic able to use the Crossing barrier-free.
"We will be closing the Crossing overnight, in one direction at a time, to minimise the disruption while we change the road layout. I advise drivers to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys.”
The Crossing will be closed until 5.30am tomorrow morning (December 1) whilst Dart Charge is introduced.
The charging hours are between 6am and 10pm every day. It will still be free to use the Crossing between 10pm and 6am.
Motorists can set up a pre-pay account online at gov.uk/dart-charge, by phone on 0300 300 0120 or by post. Call the number above and you will be sent a registration form.
