M25 traffic near Lakeside halts after crash and emergency resurfacing work
M25 traffic near Lakeside junction 31 came to a standstill following a collision that triggered emergency resurfacing operations.
A collision at junction 31 of the M25 near Lakeside has caused substantial traffic disruption, with the clockwise entry slip road closed and emergency resurfacing work underway. Motorists faced four miles of congestion and 45-minute delays, with average speeds dropping to just 5 mph across the affected stretch and adjoining routes.
Road Closures and Traffic Impact
The crash resulted in a hazardous spillage that necessitated immediate emergency repair work on the motorway surface. The clockwise entry slip road at the Lakeside junction remains shut, preventing access to the M25 from that point. Additionally, lane one of three on the main carriageway has been closed to facilitate the resurfacing operation.
The disruption extended beyond the M25 itself. The A1306 Arterial Road was closed for London-bound traffic, while the A13 experienced delays of up to 30 minutes in the same direction. Traffic management officials advised motorists unable to access the M25 at junction 31 to proceed instead to junction 30 to join the motorway.
Regional Traffic Network Effects
The incident created gridlock across multiple routes in the western part of the borough. The combination of the M25 closure and spillover congestion on connecting roads meant that drivers throughout the area faced significant journey time increases. Essex Highways coordinated the road closures and emergency repair efforts to restore the motorway to full operation as quickly as possible.
