Major Traffic Issues on the M25 Today
The M25, London’s orbital motorway, is experiencing significant disruptions today due to a series of accidents and flooding incidents. These incidents have led to long delays and congestion in various sections of the motorway, affecting the travel plans of many commuters.
Accidents and Delays on the M25
One of the major incidents causing delays on the M25 today is a collision between a lorry and a van on the anticlockwise carriageway between Junction 28 and Junction 27. This accident has resulted in the road being fully blocked, leading to extensive queues and congestion in the surrounding areas. The closure of this section of the motorway has forced drivers to seek alternative routes, causing further disruptions to their journeys.
In addition to the accident on the anticlockwise carriageway, there is also a lane blocked on the clockwise carriageway after Junction 16 due to another accident. The resulting queueing traffic is stretching back for two miles, adding to the delays faced by motorists using this section of the M25.
Flooding on the M25
The challenges on the M25 do not end with the accidents mentioned above. At Junction 10 on the clockwise carriageway, heavy rainfall has caused flooding, resulting in the closure of the exit slip road. This flooding has further complicated traffic flow on the motorway, leading to diversions being put in place to guide drivers to Junction 11. The combination of accidents and flooding on the M25 today has created a challenging environment for commuters and has significantly impacted travel times.
