A vehicle fire on the M25 anticlockwise between junctions J25 in Enfield and J24 in Potter's Bar caused significant disruption on Wednesday morning. Firefighters attended the scene, and National Highways reported delays of up to 90 minutes with congestion stretching up to 10 miles at its peak.
Two of the four lanes were initially closed as emergency services dealt with the incident. Recovery operations were underway, and traffic began to move slowly. National Highways confirmed that all lanes have since reopened, but residual delays of up to 40 minutes and six miles of congestion remain.
Motorists were advised to allow extra travel time and consider alternative routes. The incident highlights the ongoing challenges of managing traffic on one of the UK's busiest motorways.
