Thumbs down A13 this morning....

Hopefully anyone thats going to go near the A13 between stanford/basildon will read this as it shut all morning. I got stuck @5:20 this morning and sat for 45 mins before being turned around and drove back along to basildon.

unfortunately i did not hear a traffice report until after pitsea!!! wasnt to bad though, went off 5 bells and round the back of coringham. Took about 1 1/2 hours to get in, so not to bad considering the a13 was closed.

I'm based at Laindon, and what usually is a 12 min drive to work, took 45 mins, A13 Southend bound was closed off and most of the traffic diverted through Laindon Hills!!

Not happy as this is the first time I've been late!!!

My manager lives in Southend and is stuck on the A127, called him at 7:45 to let him know I'd be late ad he said the same, he was stuck at the Rayleigh Wier, and he still hasn't come in yet!!

The traffic was meant to be back past pitsea last i heard on the radio so tesco might be a bit of a slog TBH

i got stuck just after the pitsea flyover at around 5:50ish so would imagine it's a nightmare now.
