    There have been so many dodgy threads today that I actually read this thread title as Dartford Crossing ****...

    An ex friend many years ago prompted the Daily Mirror headline 'the girl they called the Dartford Tunnel"

    That's what I was thinking. There is no (realistic) alternative route.

    Blackwall tunnel, but that would be super busy tonight.

    Darford Crossing in Kent has been shut due to a security alert after a man walking around suspiciously was arrested.

    Yet again people are stuck on this horrendous M25.

    http://www.itv.com/news/london/story/2013-09-06/incident-closes-dartford-crossing/

    Whilst it would probably suck to be there, it's not actually part of the M25: it's actually the A282.

    Ah. So that's why the Police helicopter has been buzzing around overhead.

    I suspect if a 'suspicious package' has been found, it'll be a controlled explosion to get rid of it ..

    I think my European friend might have taken it a little bit to literally when I told him the dartford crossing costs a bomb these days...

    I can't believe they closed the bridge and tunnel with the cars still on/in them, not a good place to be with a bomb scare going on?

    I'm sure the highways agency are trying to turn drivers around off the bridge and turning them around before the tolls.

    Bit late now, they chose to close it, would seem like common sense to close it at the start and allow the traffic to filter off?

    A CT may say "But how many packages to sway public opinion"

    Seems a coach was taken away as that may have been involved.
