A lorry shed its breeze blocks near Potters Bar this morning causing three lanes to close on the M25.
Highways England officers were called at around 6.25am to the anticlockwise carriageway between Junction 25 (Enfield) and Junction 24 (Potters Bar) to help clear the debris strewn along the stretch.
All traffic was temporarily stopped, causing delays of more than an hour, before the lanes were slowly reopened.
There is currently still one lane closed, and motorists are being encouraged to plan ahead before using the route.
