ONE LANE was closed on part of the M25 because emergency repairs had to be done after a manhole collapsed.

The problem occured on the anti-clockwise section between junctions 30, A13 and Lakeside, and 29, A127.

Around 11.45am the Highways Agency made the decision to shut off a lane to resurface the road.

Delays of around 30 minutes have been caused because of the closure. The lane was reopened at 4pm.
