The fire in a heavy goods vehicle caused significant road damage, complicating recovery efforts. Fire crews worked for 10 hours to extinguish the blaze, influencing the evening commute.
Robert Bell, Network Operations Manager for National Highways, urged drivers to avoid the area: 'The challenging nature and extensive damage mean closures will extend into tonight's commute.'
Due to another incident, the Dartford Crossing's east tunnel is closed, reducing northbound traffic capacity by 50%. Significant disruption is expected across surrounding areas.
