The A127 westbound has been re-opened at the Fairglen Interchange, but huge tailbacks remain.
The road was closed at about 6am with Essex Highways vehicles blocking the slip road at the roundabout.
There are long queues from the Kent Elms Corner to the A1245 Fairglen Interchange and the A130 is also backed-up.
Routes through Wickford are congested.
There are also reports of a washing machine being dumped on the A13.
