Charges suspended on the Dartford Crossing
The Highways Agency has temporarily suspended toll charges on the Dartford Crossing southbound until further notice - because of congestion.
The decision was made just before 10am this morning to help ease the severe traffic that has built up during roadworks taking place to introduce the new Dart Charge scheme. The Highways Agency said it also wants to reduce the risk of minor collisions in queuing traffic. The organisation said: - 'We are doing all we possibly can to help keep traffic moving.'.
