Depends where you are trying to get to

Says on google there is a security alert??

[Humpy D]

Reporting it as a security alert so could be anything. A toll worker has probably left their lunchbox in the tunnel!!

Highways Agency are reporting the it won't re-open until 8pm!!

Bomb alert on a coach at the tolls.

I would definitely go by Heathrow if I were you.

[CharlieCrocodile]

The sky news copter is there!

This is going to be absolutely bonkers! Blackwall tunnel? Woolwich ferry? Tower Bridge? Definitely needs another crossing somewhere.

Why would you blow the tolls up? Would have thought they would do it in the tunnel, Blackwall would probably be a better target as the tunnels are closer together and there isn't a bridge for a diversion. I call bks on it, hoax at the most.

Just looked at Google Maps traffic, there's a lot of black lines.

Thankfully I'm about 70 miles away in a comfy chair typing this \o/

That's got to be one of the worst Friday pains ever for motorists in Kent

"Ten-mile tailbacks on the A102 Blackwall Tunnel northbound in south-east London were also reported"

Luckily I bought my winter tyres early this year and just sailed through, they are just flippin marvellous.

Whatever has happened is obvously serious as its been shut nearly 7 hours now which ive never heard of that.

The Mrs is stuck in kent trying to get home its crazy as every other route is at nightmare.

Aparently the dover incident might be linked but seems to be no official statement on either

My facebook is full of people moaning that they've had to abandon their car and walk home, theres loads of people just sleeping in the drivers seat too apparently.

They are predicting opening by midnight now.
