The police were stationed at the front of a long line of cars on the A102M Blackwall Tunnel approach in Greenwich, causing a blockage in traffic. East London's Blackwall Tunnel, which had been closed due to a van fire the previous day, was finally able to reopen to the public.
The situation had caused a standstill in traffic, forcing drivers to abandon their cars and evacuate the tunnel. Surrounding roads were also closed off for safety precautions. Fortunately, Transport for London worked tirelessly throughout the evening to repair the damage caused by the fire. As a result, the tunnel, which connects Tower Hamlets to Greenwich and is a part of the A102 road, was able to reopen in the early hours of the following day.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the city, commuters were facing serious delays on the A40 during rush hour. According to the Transport for London website, multiple lanes had been closed to allow for necessary Thames Water and HS2 works. Commuters were advised to expect delays and to plan their journeys accordingly.
