Drivers faced long delays heading towards the Dartford tunnel today.

Both tunnels were closed just before 11am for around 20 minutes, after a vehicle reportedly broke down.

At one point, traffic stretched back to the Darenth Interchange.

The congestion had cleared by 1pm.

Earlier, there were also long delays heading into Kent after a lorry blew a tyre on the Dartford Crossing.

Two lanes were closed on the QEII Bridge, causing traffic to grind to a halt just before 11am.

All lanes have since reopened and traffic is moving.
