Commuters are facing frustration on their way to work with delays of up to three hours.
An accident on the M25 has led to long tailbacks on the northbound carriage with delays stretching all the way from Reigate to Orpington.
Two-hour delays are also being reported on the M23 London bound between junction nine at Gatwick Airport and junction 7 at the Hooley Interchange because of the problems on the M25.
The M25 at junction 8 is likely to stay closed for most of the morning to clear up spilled diesel and carriageway repairs.
