Drivers on the M25 southbound are facing long delays this morning after a crash partially blocked the A20 at the J3 Swanley Interchange roundabout. According to Annabel Stock's report for Capital Post, the incident has caused significant congestion on the approach to the junction.
Queues Stretch Back to Darenth Interchange
The report states that long queues are stretching back to J2 (A2 Darenth Interchange) on the southbound approach. Traffic is still getting through the roundabout, but vehicles are moving very slowly, adding considerable time to journeys in the area.
Partial Blockage at A20
The crash is partially blocking the A20 at the M25 J3 Swanley Interchange roundabout. While one lane or part of the carriageway remains open, the reduced capacity is causing the tailbacks observed. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time if heading through this section of the M25.
Impact on Local Routes
The congestion is likely to affect local roads around Swanley and Darenth as drivers seek alternative routes. Traffic is still moving, albeit slowly, and no official diversion is currently reported. The situation is expected to ease once the vehicle is cleared from the roundabout.
