There is heavy congestion on the M25 this morning (June 29), after a 'barrier fault' closed off the Dartford Tunnel in one direction.

The fault occurred on the anticlockwise road just before 6am, closing both accessing tunnels.

It has since been rectified.

Congestion is backed up to j2, at the Darenth Interchange.
