Congestion is also beginning to build on Braxted Park Road, as people look to avoid the A12.
Long queues are forming, and drivers are advised to plan ahead to avoid disrupting their journey.
It appears that the obstruction is due to Cadent gas works.
One lane has been closed to allow the works to take place.
