Motorists were temporarily stopped on the bridge while National Highways’ officers cleared the broken-down HGV.

By 10.15am, traffic was released and all lanes were reopened.

However, long delays on the clockwise carriageway remain, with queues stretching back to Junction 29.

There are currently delays of around 50 minutes against expected traffic.
