Motorway traffic has been released after being held following a multi-vehicle crash.

Drivers travelling clockwise on the M25 between Junction 5 for the M26 in Sevenoaks and Junction 6 for the A22 in Godstone, are facing heavy delays.

All traffic was brought to a stop so emergency services could get to the scene and the overturned vehicle could be moved.

National Highways is reporting that the vehicles involved have now been cleared and all four lanes have been reopened, but there is still congestion.

A spokesperson said: “Please allow extra time for your journey as there is up to five miles of congestion back to Junction 6.”

It comes after two miles of congestion was seen on the M25 in Surrey this morning after a section of it was closed.

A five-mile stretch of the motorway between junctions 10 and 11 was closed in both directions at 9pm yesterday and will remain inaccessible until 6am on Monday while a bridge is demolished and a new gantry installed.

It has sparked concerns that thousands of drivers will be stuck in gridlocked traffic over the weekend during the unprecedented closure, with one councillor calling it a “nightmare”.

More as we get it.
