Dartford Crossing Chaos: Three Lanes Shut on A282 Southbound
Travel nightmare on the A282 southbound between junctions J1A and J1B as lanes 2, 3, and 4 of 4 shut down, snarling traffic from Essex to Kent at the Dartford Crossing.
Broken-Down HGV Sparks Massive Delays
An HGV broke down earlier on this stretch, triggering severe congestion. Thankfully, the lorry has now been removed, and lanes 2, 3, and 4 have reopened. All lanes are running again, but delays remain.
Brace for 75-Minute Delays and Plan Ahead
Expect huge hold-ups. Between the M25 clockwise at J29 in Essex and A282 southbound at J1B in Kent, motorists face delays of at least 75 minutes.
- Allow extra travel time
- Consider alternative routes
- Postpone trips if possible
Stay safe and avoid the queues where you can.
