The clockwise carriageway reopened at 06:10,am but the anti-clockwise carriageway between junctions 8 and 10, Cobham to Reigate, remains closed. By 07:30, the queues into Surrey had grown to eight miles , and traffic was diverted via the A3, A240, and A217. National Highways expects the issues to be “prolonged” throughout the morning.
