The A282 Southbound at the Dartford River Crossing, aka the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, is shut due to a police-led incident. Officers from Essex and Kent Police are on the scene.
Traffic Chaos: Southbound Diverted, Northbound Restricted
Southbound traffic is being rerouted through the larger East Tunnel. This means the Northbound side is limited to the smaller West Tunnel, which has a lower height clearance.
M25 Gridlock: Slip Roads Closed
The incident is causing delays in both directions on the M25 near Dartford. The clockwise entry slip roads at junctions 30 and 31 are also shut, adding to the traffic misery.
