COMMUTERS have been hit with huge rush hour delays after two major motorways were shut following a police incident.
Drivers on both the M25 and M1 are facing significant disruption this morning after both routes were temporarily closed.
Hertfordshire Police said it had shut the M1 northbound between Junctions 6 and 6A at around 5.15am today, with the M25 later also being closed around Junction 21A.
Traffic was temporarily diverted onto the A405 North Orbital Road and other surrounding routes.
While police say both roads reopened at around 6.45am, they warned that delays remained in the area.
Earlier today, Hertfordshire Police said in a statement: “We are currently dealing with an incident on the M1 at J6A, (Chiswell interchange) which is also affecting J21A of the M25.
“If you are planning to travel through either junction on your travels, we recommend that you seek an alternative route as the road will be closed.”;
The nature of the police incident is not yet known.
