The road has been blocked eastbound at junction 3 Heston.

Queues are already forming before Junction 4 as travellers struggle to get to Heathrow Airport.

A National Highways South-East spokesperson said: "Following an incident recently, road is closed within J3 for Met Police investigation work.

"Road expected to be closed until approximately 9am. Divert off and on. 30 min delay."

A police spokesperson said: "This is due to highways work on a bridge that needs doing following some police investigative work earlier on this morning. No police incident as such."
