M3 Motorway Closed for Hours Following Emergency Incident and Traffic Build-Up
**M3 Traffic Update: Major Motorway Shut for Hours as Emergency Services Respond**
All lanes of the M3 motorway were closed on Sunday morning due to a significant incident requiring emergency services. Police and paramedics swarmed the area between junctions 3 and 4, leading to extensive delays for motorists.
The closure has left drivers unable to proceed, inciting frustration and confusion. Emergency services have been actively addressing the situation, which has caused significant traffic build-up in the area.
An official from National Highways stated, “If you're caught within the closure, then we have now begun the process of turning vehicles around from the back of the queue.” This movement will help manage the queues, but considerable delays are still expected as the road remains blocked for investigations and clean-up.
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes while the M3 remains closed.
