A LANE closure on a major A-road is causing traffic chaos due to emergency gas works.

This morning, congestion was building on A12 southbound at junction 25, Marks Tey, due to one lane closure.

The lane was closed due to emergency gas works being carried out by Cadent. 

Traffic was queuing back towards junction 28, Colchester football stadium, with morning commuters facing long delays.

Congestion levels have since declined with some delays between Marks Tey and junction 26, Eight Ash Green.

A spokesman for National Highways said: "One lane is closed due to emergency gas works.

"The lane closure should be lifted in time for the evening rush."
