A crane fire on the M25 in Kent has resulted in the closure of three lanes, causing significant traffic congestion and delays for motorists. The incident occurred on the anti-clockwise carriageway between Junction 6 Godstone Interchange and Junction 5 Chevening Interchange.

The fire, which broke out earlier, prompted a swift response from Kent Fire & Rescue. Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze, but the affected lanes remain closed to facilitate the recovery of the damaged crane. Once the recovery operation is completed, it is expected that the road surface will require repairs.
