There are severe delays of about an hour on the M25 anti-clockwise due to an accident between J30 (Dartford Crossing) and J29 (Romford/Basildon).

Because of congestion Highways England says there is currently traffic management through the tunnels at Dartford and urges motorists to plan ahead and consider alternative routes.
