M275 Shut Again as Thick Black Smoke Chokes Portsmouth Motorway
Blazing Fire at Portsmouth Recycling Plant Closes Key Road
The M275 motorway has been shut down this morning after thick black smoke filled the carriageway. The disruption comes from a fierce fire burning at a waste and recycling facility on Tipner Lane in Portsmouth.
Earlier Reopening Cut Short as Smoke Intensifies
The road briefly reopened earlier today with a lowered speed limit, but the smoke thickened quickly, making the area unsafe for travellers. Authorities have now closed the M275 in both directions, blocking traffic between Mile End Road and the Rudmore roundabout.
Emergency Services on Scene—Drivers Told to Avoid Area
Firefighters and rescue teams are battling the blaze, while police urge commuters to steer clear of the affected zone. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes and rearrange travel plans until the situation is under control.
