TRAFFIC is now starting to flow again and tailbacks are gradually reducing (3.45pm) but it is expected to be some time for congestion to clear after part of the M25 close to the Dartford crossing was closed at lunchtime today (Sunday, 13 March) because of what was described by National Highways as an infrastructure defect.

The clockwise carriageway was closed between J1B (Dartford) and J2 (for the A2) for a couple of hours before being reopened just after 3pm.

There were very long delays on the approach to the Dartford Crossing, with congestion stretching back to junction 30, with congestion on feeder roads around Lakeside.
