Major UK bridge closed after 'police incident' as drivers face huge delays
There are currently delays of 30 minutes along the busy commuter route.
www.express.co.ukI don’t have live access to current feeds right now, but here’s how to get the latest on the Dartford Crossing southbound.
- Check National Highways travel updates for the A282 QEII Bridge and M25: they publish live incident and lane-closure news, with estimated reopen times and detours.
- Look at reputable UK traffic reporters' outlets for real-time maps and congestion levels near Dartford (e.g., regional BBC/National press traffic updates, and major outlets like ITV or Sky News).
- If you’re driving, consider alternative routes or timing: southbound closures often route traffic through the east bore, reducing capacity and causing delays; plan for possible multi-hour holdups and allow extra time.
Would you like me to compile a quick summary from current public sources if you specify a time window (e.g., “this afternoon” or “today’s evening peak”)? I can provide a concise update with typical impact patterns and recommended detours.
