Traffic is building on the A127, with the road partially blocked due to a westbound crash.
The crash reportedly happened on the A127 Southend Arterial Road westbound before the A1245 Fairglen Interchange.
The congestion is backing up to Rayleigh Road and is seeing queuing traffic on the opposite side too.
