The Sheppey Crossing has been affected by another broken down car today.

After one lane was shut this morning, officers received a report of a second vehicle just after 2pm.

A car had come to a halt approximately 150 metres before the roundabout and police were called.

The vehicle was removed at 2.50pm but Highways officers were called to deal with an oil spillage in the road.

This follows delays this morning where one lane had to be closed.

Traffic was heavy in the area as the old Kingsferry Bridge was being lifted as travellers tried to avoid the queues, but delays had cleared by about 1pm.

Further delays are expected in the area and officers remain at the scene.
