Parts of the M25 have been closed after two separate lorry fires.
The motorway has been shut anti-clockwise in Essex between junction 28 for Brentwood and junction 27 for Epping, due to a vehicle fire, National Highways said.
The road has also been closed between junction 27 and junction 26 near Waltham Abbey due to a second lorry fire.
“Due to the intensity of the blaze, the closure is likely to extend in the morning peak travel period,” the body added.
Emergency services, including Essex Police, are at the scene and officers from National Highways are assisting with traffic management.
There is currently about 10 minutes of delays and one mile of congestion on the approach, National Highways added.
