The closures, part of ongoing maintenance and contraflow works, will also affect the QEII Bridge on Saturday night, impacting both northbound and southbound traffic.
Diversions will be clearly signposted via National Highways routes, but motorists should expect potential delays and check for updates, as schedules remain weather dependent.
The Dartford Crossing, which connects Dartford in Kent to Thurrock in Essex via the A282, is a key transport route over the River Thames.
These closures are necessary for ongoing maintenance but may change depending on weather conditions.
