There are severe delays on the M25 and Dartford Crossing after traffic was held by highway officers.
National Highways traffic officers temporarily held traffic at the QE2 Bridge this morning to remove a broken down vehicle from a live lane.
As a result, there are delays of around 45 minutes.
This is just after J31 A282 with congestion back to J29 A127.
All lanes are now re-open but there are still severe delays.
National Highways tweeted: "There is a 45 minute delays on the M25 clockwise between J29 and J30 due to an earlier broken down vehicle in live lane.
"Thank you for your patience."
