The M25 in Essex will be closed between junction 27 and 25 anti-clockwise overnight to allow repairs to take place.

The stretch of road Essex will be closed from 10pm tonight until 5.30am tomorrow.

Resurfacing work is required following a collision involving two HGVs this morning that resulted in diesel being spilt on the carriageway.

During the closure there will be no access to the anti-clockwise carriageway of the road from the M11 or junction 26. A diversion will be in place via the M11, A406 and A10.
