A12 Northbound Traffic Blocked by Multiple Obstructions
Multiple obstructions and a slip road closure on the A12 northbound caused severe traffic delays in Boreham and Hatfield Peverel on July 24.
Severe traffic disruptions affected the A12 northbound on the evening of July 24, 2026, following a series of obstructions. National Highways reported a partial blockage at junction 19 at the Boreham Interchange, while a stalled vehicle further north near The Vineyards in Hatfield Peverel created additional delays.
Infrastructure issues compounded the congestion with the closure of the entry ramp at junction 20B in Hatfield Peverel North. These combined factors led to significant slowdowns on intersecting routes, specifically on the B1137 The Street eastbound in Hatfield Peverel, where average traffic speeds dropped to 10mph and delays reached 11 minutes.
