The M25 motorway is completely shut in both directions between Junction 20 (Watford) and Junction 18 (Chorleywood) in Hertfordshire after a serious police incident.

Hertfordshire Police, supported by National Highways Traffic Officers, are currently managing the situation on site. The closure is a precautionary measure while authorities work to resolve the ongoing incident safely.

Drivers caught within the closure are being released via rearward relief routes. Traffic is being diverted through local roads in both directions, causing significant delays. Motorists are advised to plan ahead or avoid travelling in the area if possible.

The exact details of the police-led incident have not been disclosed at this time. Officials say they are working swiftly to clear the scene and restore normal traffic flow as soon as possible.

Motorists are urged to stay updated with official traffic updates and follow instructions from local authorities as the situation develops.
