M11 Southbound Shut After Serious Crash – Essex Chaos Expected Tonight
The M11 is completely closed southbound between junctions 7 and 6 near Harlow after a major three-vehicle smash. Emergency crews are at the scene, and the closure is expected to last well into the night.
Nightmare Diversions in Place
Drivers heading southbound must follow this lengthy diversion:
- Exit the M11 at J7 onto Hastingswood Interchange.
- Take the 2nd exit onto the A414 London Road (signposted 1).
- Follow the A414 for 10.5 miles to the A10 interchange.
- At the A10/A414 roundabout, take the 1st exit onto the A10 southbound.
- Continue 7 miles south on the A10 to the M25 interchange.
- At the M25 J25 roundabout, take the 1st exit onto the M25 anti-clockwise.
- Stay on the M25 to J27, then take the 2nd exit to join M11 southbound at J6.
Drivers should expect long delays and consider alternative routes where possible.
Another Crash Adds to Southbound Mayhem
Update: Police are now dealing with a second serious collision between J7 and J8. Both incidents mean the M11 southbound between J6 and J8 is likely to stay closed until morning rush hour.
