UPDATED: Essex Police have reopened the road, but huge queues remain.
Following clear up work, the London-bound carriageway is now open.
But due to the miles of queues in the lead up to the incident, drivers are now facing 60-90 minutes long delays.
It is recommended motorists use an alternative route if they can.
