Drivers have been hit with delays of an hour on approach to the incident, which is ongoing between J9 and Leatherhead and J8 at Redhill. Two lanes remain closed following an earlier vehicle fire. The agency said: "On the clockwise carriageway, speed restrictions remain in place to ensure the safety of drivers and those working on the opposite side of the road. "On the anticlockwise carriageway, we are preparing to release traffic. Lanes 1 and 2 will remain closed, with the closure extending beyond the incident scene. Please allow us a little more time to complete our final safety checks before reopening Lanes 3 and 4.
