Drivers are facing big hold-ups on the approach to the Dartford Tunnel due to a broken down horsebox.
One of the tunnels - the west side route - is currently closed as recovery teams attempt to move the faulty vehicle.
There are delays of more than 30 minutes for those heading north from Kent, along the M25 anti-clockwise between Junction 3 and Junction 2.
With the west tunnel being shut, all motorists are having to use the east tunnel.
Traffic is moving slowly through the open tunnel and there are delays up to Junction 31 for Lakeside.
