ALERT: M25 Clockwise Delays Between Junctions 5 and 6

⚠️ TRAFFIC

Significant congestion on the M25 clockwise between junctions 5 and 6 is affecting traffic flow this morning.

Motorists using the M25 clockwise route between junctions 5 and 6 are currently experiencing slow-moving traffic with delays of approximately 15 minutes above normal journey times. One lane remains closed on this section of the motorway, which is restricting traffic capacity and contributing to the congestion.

The incident was triggered by a road traffic collision that occurred earlier. Emergency services and highway teams have been managing the situation, though the closed lane continues to affect traffic flow. Drivers should expect heavier congestion during this period and consider allowing extra time for their journeys through this area.

If possible, motorists are advised to delay their journey or use alternative routes to avoid this congestion. Those who must travel through junctions 5 and 6 should reduce speed and maintain increased following distances due to the restricted lane availability and slow-moving traffic conditions.

  • One lane closed on M25 clockwise between junctions 5 and 6
  • Delays of approximately 15 minutes against normal traffic
  • Road traffic collision caused the disruption
  • Consider alternative routes or delaying non-essential journeys
