M25 traffic live: Motorway chaos with 11 miles of queues and 90 minute delays Two out of three lanes are closed for emergency road surface repairs, leading to 11 miles of congestion, as drivers have been asked to delay their journeys Motorists planning to use the M25 this morning have been urged to delay their journeys as two out of three lanes are currently closed. The closure is at junction 27 and is causing delays of over an hour and a half on the M25 anti-clockwise in Essex. National Highways says there are 11 miles of congestion on approach, with no estimated time for when the lanes could reopen. National Highways said this is due to emergency road surface repairs. A statement reads: "As a result of these works, the link road from the M11 southbound to the M25 anti-clockwise at J27 is also closed. "If this impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time as is 11 miles of congestion on approach to the lane closures. Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey." The map below shows the location of the closures on the M25 at junction 27, along with the 11 miles of congestion currently present on approach. National Highways has asked drivers to delay their journeys if possible. Good morning and thank you for joining our live coverage of the M25 congestion this morning. The lanes currently affected by emergency road surface repairs are lanes one and two of three within junction 27. These are closed and there is no estimate for how long the repairs will take, National Highways said.
