Motorists are facing delays as two lanes of the Dartford Tunnel are closed for emergency repairs.

The right hand tunnel on the M25 anti-clockwise from Dartford to Thurrock is closed early this morning while the work is carried out.

The left hand tunnel, which is smaller at only 4.8 metres high, remains open. The work is expected to finish about 9.30am.
