The QE2 Bridge is closed due to high winds.

All traffic is currently using one bore of the Dartford Tunnel causing long delays on the approach to the bridge.

Queues stretch back to junction 30 at Lakeside.

There is also slow traffic on the A13 Londonbound back to the Tilbury Dock Approach Road.

The bridge initially closed just after 6am this morning, and is expected to remain closed throughout this morning's rush hour.

Drivers can expect delays of roughly an hour in both directions.

UPDATE: The bridge re-opened at around 9:20am.
