Many road users were last night stuck on motorways like the M25 that runs along the Greater London area. Some road users have been on the road since the morning and didn’t make much progress into the early hours of the night and were thinking of abandoning their cars on the M25. The worst affected areas around London were Kent, Surrey and Essex This morning there are many problems with the road networks in London and the main motorways feeding into the capital.
The M3 which runs from Southampton,Hampshire,to London has major traffic issues around the Bagshot and Lightwater region southbound into London. A lorry has jack knifed in Essex on the M25 towards Canterbury in Kent resulting in lane closure for several hours. Furthermore the Dartford crossing Thurrock in Essex and Dartford in Kent had to be closed for several hours for safety reasons.
