There are huge queues of traffic on the M3 in Surrey this morning due to a lorry fire.
National Highways says on X: “Traffic is held on the #M3 eastbound between J4 #Farnborough & J3 #Woking to allow @SurreyFRS to respond to a lorry fire. Our #TrafficOfficers are on scene providing traffic management.
“Delays of up to 60 minutes on approach”. One user responded to the post: “It's not really a 60 min delay if you know we've been stationary for 90 minutes and that the fire is still ongoing. Why not post an accurate update?
“If its going to be 3 hours, say 3 hours. False hope does nothing but erode trust.”
Motorway cameras show huge queues of traffic building up on the motorway. If you are due to travel on the road be sure to leave plenty of time for your journey.
