It was reported that at J1A and 1B of the motorway some people had glued their hands to the road.
Police attended but it was inevitable there would be significant displays. At 11.45am, with the problems compounded because of two broken down vehicles, traffic on the M25 clockwise was backed up as far as Junction 29 with similar queues on the Kent side approaching the tunnels.
Approach roads on both sides are massively congested.
The bridge and tunnels were back running freely by 1.30pm
The demonstrators targeted Junction 23 for South Mimms in Hertfordshire, as well as the main carriageway from Junction 8 at Reigate to Junction 9 at Leatherhead, both in Surrey.
