London travel news LIVE: Rotherhithe Tunnel closed due to 'technical problems' causing Blackwall Tunnel delays
Motorists are facing long delays crossing the Thames caused by the sudden closure of the Rotherhithe Tunnel due to “technical problems”.
Traffic monitor Inrix.com says the tunnel is shut in both directions with “no estimate for reopening”.
The closure is causing congestion to the A13 through Shadwell and Whitechapel, and Jamaica Road towards central London through Bermondsey.
It appears to be having a knock-on effect with delays being reported on the approaches to the Blackwall Tunnel.
