Strong Winds Shut Southbound QEII Bridge at Dartford

The southbound carriageway of the QEII Bridge at the Dartford Crossing has been slammed shut as a precaution due to fierce winds. This move disrupts all southbound traffic heading over the bridge.

Traffic Diverted Through Dartford Tunnel

All vehicles that would normally use the southbound bridge must now divert through the Dartford Tunnel. However, there’s a strict height limit at the tunnel.

High Vehicles Told: Use M25 Instead

If your vehicle exceeds the tunnel’s height limit, you’ll need to find another way around via the clockwise M25. Drivers are urged to plan accordingly.

Expect Delays – Plan Ahead

Anyone travelling this way should allow extra time and consider alternative routes or delaying trips. The closure could cause major disruption, so prepare for delays now.
