The A12 Northbound at the junction of Wansbeck Road is closed near Stratford’s Olympic Park following an earlier car fire.
Traffic is stationary with congestion stretching back to the exit of the Blackwall Tunnel.
Due to the diverting traffic there are delays eastbound on Eastway approaching Wick Road.
Drivers are advised to seek other routes.
