Here’s the latest M25 traffic picture: there are active delays from a few incidents, including congestion on the anticlockwise carriageway near J1A and J2, a broken-down vehicle between J3 and J2, and a police incident near J2. There’s also a clockwise incident at J14 with animals on the road, and a separate congestion delay at J15.[1]
Planned disruption is also coming up, with roadworks expected on the clockwise M25 between J31 and J1A on several nights in early June, including lane closures and overnight restrictions.[1]
If you’re heading that way, the safest assumption is that the Dartford end and the J2–J3 stretch are the most likely to slow you down right now, so allow extra time or check before leaving.[2][5]
