UK Motorway Disruptions Ease After Four Days of Crashes as New M11 Delays Emerge

National Highways says the M6 has fully reopened after an overnight closure, while a fresh collision on the M11 near Stansted is causing significant queues.

Overview

  • An overturned vehicle shut the M6 northbound between J2 and J3 in the early hours of Monday, with diversions in place before all lanes reopened and delays cleared.
  • A new multi-vehicle collision on the M11 southbound between J9 and J8 on Monday morning left one lane closed and delays of around 50 minutes near Stansted.
  • The M62 westbound between J26 and J25 reopened on Sunday after a collision and diesel spillage that had closed two lanes and caused hour‑long delays.
  • The M5 northbound between J14 and J13 was closed for several hours Sunday after a vehicle left the carriageway, with police investigation work completed and the road reopening around 9:50 a.m.
  • Traffic on the M4 eastbound near the Almondsbury Interchange was briefly held Sunday, and National Highways urged extra time for Bristol Airport journeys as congestion eased after lanes were released.
