A car fire is causing five mile tailbacks on the M25.
Drivers are being advised to avoid the M25 as one lane is closed between Junction 25 for Enfield, and Junction 26 for Waltham Abbey.
Lane one is being blocked by the fire brigade so traffic is having to pass in lanes two and three.
There are queues back through the Holmesdale Tunnel and travel time through the congestion is about 30 minutes.
