The M3 motorway is closed eastbound between Junction 3 Bagshot and Junction 2 near the M25 interchange in Surrey following a road traffic collision involving lorries.
Kent residents and travellers heading through Surrey should be aware of significant disruptions on the M3 this morning. The motorway’s eastbound carriageway is completely closed between Junction 3 Bagstock Interchange and Junction 2 Thorpe Interchange following a collision between two lorries, with one vehicle striking a gantry structure during the incident.
Traffic is currently being diverted off the motorway at Junction 2 exit slip roads, with drivers able to rejoin the eastbound carriageway via the entry slip once the incident is cleared. This arrangement allows through traffic to continue their journeys, although delays are expected throughout the diversion period.
Residents and motorists should expect additional travel times on surrounding roads as traffic seeks alternative routes. Affected roads include Ardleigh Green Road, Gubbins Lane, and Gooshays Drive, which are experiencing increased congestion. Additional delays have also been reported on the westbound A13 and M11 southbound during peak periods as drivers look for alternative passage through the region.
If you must travel through Surrey this morning, allow extra time for your journey and consider using alternative routes if possible. Monitor local traffic updates for information on when normal traffic flow resumes on the M3.
