Chaos on the M25 Anti-Clockwise: Full Closure Sparks Massive Tailbacks
Drivers on the M25 anti-clockwise face severe gridlock tonight. A full carriageway shutdown between Junction 29 (Romford/A127) and Junction 28 (Brentwood/A12) has brought traffic to a standstill since 3pm today (Tuesday, June 17).
Miles of Delays Back to Dartford Crossing
According to AA Maps, congestion stretches for miles, with jams crawling all the way back to the Dartford Crossing. Motorists have been stuck in relentless traffic for hours, sparking frustration and chaos.
National Highways spokesperson: “If this closure affects your planned route, please allow extra time for your journey.”
Hollow Square Diversion in Action
Police and National Highways direct drivers to follow the Hollow Square diversion to dodge the closure:
- Exit M25 at Junction 29, taking the A127 towards London.
- At Gallows Corner, keep left and take the 4th exit onto the A12 towards Harwich.
- Rejoin the M25 at Junction 28.
Traffic officers remain on site managing the mayhem, with local roads around the A12 and A127 jammed as diverted drivers flood the area.
Emergency Services Involved—Cause Still Unknown
Kent Police and South East Coast Ambulance Service have been contacted for updates, but the reason behind the closure remains under wraps.
