There are delays near the Dartford Crossing this morning due to emergency road works.

Drivers faced delays of up to 40 minutes this morning as emergency services dealt with a broken down lorry and repairs to the carriageway.

Traffic is queueing near the M25 Dartford Tunnel anticlockwise between junction 1A and junction 31.

Congestion is stretched back to junction 4 but all lanes have been re-opened.

Lane one reopened at 08.05 after it was closed in the East Bore. The East Bore was originally fully reopened after being closed but Highways had re closed one lane.
