M26: Road reopens after five-hour closure for lorry fire
The eastbound M26 in Kent has reopened after a lorry fire caused it to close for about five hours.
National Highways said shortly after 15:00 GMT the carriageway had reopened, but there was 12 miles (19km) of congestion on the approach.
The road had been closed between the M25 junction five at Chipstead and junction two A near Wrotham Heath.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service confirmed four engines and a bulk water carrier had been deployed.
