A multi-vehicle collision has led to the closure of the M25 clockwise carriageway between Junction 30 (Aveley) and Junction 31 (Purfleet) in Essex. The incident occurred earlier today, prompting a swift response from Essex Police and National Highways: East.
The collision initially resulted in traffic being held on the M25 clockwise carriageway within Junction 30 (Aveley). Subsequently, due to the severity of the incident, the entire clockwise carriageway between Junction 30 and Junction 31 has been closed to traffic.
Motorists are being diverted via the distributor link road that runs parallel to the M25. This diversion is expected to help alleviate traffic congestion and keep traffic flowing smoothly while the incident is being managed. However, delays are building on the approach to the affected area, so travellers are advised to plan alternative routes or allow extra time for their journeys.
Essex Police are currently on the scene, working to assess the situation, provide assistance to those involved, and ensure the safety of all road users.
National Highways: East is actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as new information becomes available. Commuters are encouraged to stay informed through official channels and consider adjusting their travel plans if necessary.
