London Tunnel Chaos: M25 Closed, Live Updates
Ugh, traffic! You know that feeling when you're stuck in a traffic jam, and you just wanna scream? Well, folks in London are feeling that big time right now. The M25 is closed, and the Blackwall Tunnel is shut down too. It's a real mess, but we're here to give you the latest updates and help you navigate this nightmare.
What's Going On?
The M25 is closed eastbound between junctions 29 and 30. That's the stretch near the Dartford Crossing, so it's a major artery that's been cut off. Apparently, there was a serious accident involving a lorry and some cars. It's causing delays for miles.
But wait, there's more! The Blackwall Tunnel is also closed, and it's not due to a crash. They're doing some maintenance work, but it's still adding to the headache. So, folks heading into London from the East End are also stuck in a traffic jam.
What's the Latest?
Okay, here's the lowdown on the latest updates:
- M25: The closure is expected to be in place for several more hours. Police are on the scene, and traffic officers are trying to clear the accident.
- Blackwall Tunnel: This should reopen at 6 AM tomorrow morning. Hopefully, they can get this done faster than the M25, because it's gonna be a long night for drivers.
Tips for Avoiding the Chaos

- Be patient: It's gonna be slow. Don't get frustrated, just focus on getting home safely.
