Dartford Crossing: Drivers stuck in three-hour queues after police incident
Southbound traffic is being diverted through the east-bore of the Dartford Tunnel
www.independent.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.
