The UK government has chosen Heathrow Airport’s proposal to build a third runway, a project that includes rerouting a section of the M25 motorway.
Officials say the plan is designed to boost national and regional connectivity and increase the airport’s capacity for international travel. Heathrow has long argued that the additional runway will strengthen the UK’s global transport links and support economic growth.
Critics, however, express concerns about environmental and community impacts, particularly regarding emissions and noise levels around West London. Further public consultations and planning reviews are expected before construction begins.

The UK government has endorsed Heathrow’s third runway expansion, including a motorway relocation, aiming to enhance transport capacity despite environmental concerns.
