A serious collision on the M4 has led to the complete closure of the Heathrow Tunnel in both directions, triggering severe travel disruption for those heading to the airport this morning.
Gridlock on Key Routes
The incident has resulted in significant congestion building on the M4 Heathrow Spur and the A4 Bath Road. Traffic cameras from the scene show all four lanes of traffic at a standstill, with vehicles trapped in gridlock. In response to the closure, eight bus routes have been put on diversion, further complicating travel plans for many.
Warnings for Travellers
Drivers and air passengers are being strongly advised to plan ahead and allow for considerable extra journey time. The closure is directly impacting access to Heathrow's Terminals 2 and 3, causing massive queues on the approaches. This is a developing situation, and further updates are expected as emergency services and traffic officers work at the scene.
