The M25 anticlockwise has reopened between J27 and J25 following overnight resurfacing works which overran. Although the main carriageway has now reopened, lane closures remain in place to protect areas where further work is still required. These restrictions, alongside earlier disruption, are contributing to significant delays, with drivers currently experiencing delays of up to 90 minutes above usual journey times and around nine miles of congestion between 29 (Romford \/ Basildon) and J27 (M11 J6 \/ Epping).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW OUR LIVE COVERAGE BELOW:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are massive delays on the M25 this morning and huge delays of up to 90 minutes.
