Should be fun in the road works passing the sink hole at the Team Valley.

Wasn't fun getting caught up in the chaos on Sunday , just been on the news , I'd be very annoyed if they are not working 24 hours a day sorting it out.

Not impressed either. Traffic was horrendous this morning and they're reporting that it's going to be closed until Wednesday.

The traffic for me was no worse southbound this morning and a lot easier in the way home.
Will see what tomorrow brings

I wonder if that's why that route is so popular. If it is maybe they should keep it that way.

The sinkhole has been filled in according to the BBC news. It would be nice if all the traffic that has been useing the tunnel keeps doing so. For me anyway.

Sod that - Bugger off back to the A1!

Assume it's all back to normal as the tunnel was charging again today?

Straight through. In fact it was the first time I've have been able to drive at the speed limit in years.
