Dartford crossing closed both ways

Does anybody know if besides the fruitcake running around they have actually found anything dodgy.

Shut till 12 tomorrow. What’s best route round it? I’m on m6 heading for Davis Turner Dartford? Blackwall tunnel?

Yes if you fit and they haven’t shut it for roadworks. Either that its m40 and round the bottom side.

Just been on the news as ‘no longer a threat’ !! However Dover is now at a standstill apparently a suspicious package involving a coach, both incidents are meant to be linked.

Ok southbound, won’t get back out that way though if dartfords still a mess.

Why not just stay on the limiter all the way to dartford down the M40 and round??
Assuming your not at the start of the M6 stretch already?

According to BBC news:

M25 Essex - M25 closed, queueing traffic and long delays clockwise from J30, A13 (Lakeside) to J1a, A282 (Littlebrook Interchange, Dartford), because of a security alert. Diversion in operation - traffic can use the Blackwall Tunnel, although the southbound tunnel has a height limit of 4.7 metres.

15’ = 4.572 metres, so you’re OK and with a bit to spare. :smiley:

Good luck to anyone stuck there for the night

If you need to pee open the door point and aim :slight_smile:

Depends how far round the 25 is stacked, its only 20 mins longer going that way to dartford if the roads clear. You’re gonna have to come off the 25 long before dartford tonight though. Blackwall will put you closer to dartford than say running up from the 25 through croydon if the 25 is queued round that far.

Thanks will take blackwall

Yes, a bit hit and miss really. Going by the cards on the table at the moment if he’s just passing Stafford I would come down the M40 and all the way round to junction 3 swanley on the m25 then A225 straight into dartford.
He will be hitting Kent about 2:30 am anyway so most of the traffic would have cleared.
Pav it’s up to you mate, we are all different :slight_smile:

Do you know what the trains are like, expect its had a knock on effect there as well?

I’m favouring blackwall cos they might open bridge earlier than said
