There have been delays at the Dartford Crossing after a tunnel was closed for “essential maintenance”.
The west tunnel was shut on the anticlockwise M25, from Junction 1A for the A206 in Dartford to Junction 31 for Lakeside. It has now reopened.
Traffic was backed up to Junction 2, adding an extra 30 minutes on to journeys.

“There is still approx. 1.5 miles of congestion on approach, please allow extra time for the remaining delays to clear.”
