There is currently a 90-minute delay for drivers on the M25 clockwise in Kent and a 70-minute delay on the M26 westbound.
Earlier this morning, two of the four lanes were closed following a four-vehicle collision and emergency services were in attendance.
Traffic is now being compounded further as one lane is closed due to a fallen tree, with work underway to remove it.
The congestion is stretching toward junction 2, leading onto the A2 (Darenth) and is heavier past Dartford into London.
