M25 and M4 closures LIVE: Traffic delays likely as two busy UK motorways shut

Two major motorways near London, the M25 and M4, are closed due to incidents, causing expected traffic delays.

The M25 motorway is closed clockwise near Waltham Cross due to a fuel leak from a lorry, necessitating emergency resurfacing works. Traffic is being diverted using the slip roads while contractors address the situation. Similarly, the M4 motorway in Berkshire is closed in both directions between Wokingham and Reading due to urgent repairs required on a power line pylon that has suffered structural damage. Given the forecast of strong winds, these repairs are critical to ensure safety. As these closures coincide with peak travel times, significant delays in traffic are anticipated on local roads as well.
