The closures are part of ongoing maintenance and improvement works, and drivers are being urged to plan ahead, consider alternative routes, and allow extra time for their journeys.
Closures will affect both northbound and southbound routes across the A282, with diversions clearly signposted via the National Highways network.
Drivers should expect delays and keep an eye on updates, as timings may change depending on the weather.
The Dartford Crossing, linking Dartford in Kent to Thurrock in Essex, is one of the busiest routes over the River Thames — and the overnight works are expected to cause disruption right through to early May.
