Drivers are being warned of “extensive traffic disruption” after a lorry leaked 16,000 litres (3,520 gallons) of diesel along 10 miles (16km) of roads in Surrey. <\/p>\n

Road closures are in place and services on the M25 have been closed while a clean up of the “significant” spillage takes place.<\/p>\n

Surrey Highways said disruption was expected throughout Tuesday and “over the coming days” in the area around the spill on the A24.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson said drivers were advised to avoid the area until further notice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Surrey Highways spokesperson said: “Following the diesel spillage on the A24 between the Beare Green roundabout to the Leatherhead M25 junction (junction nine), the road remains closed northbound. <\/p>\n

“Surrey Highways teams are on site making the area safe and dealing with the clean-up of this significant spillage that is approximately 16,000 litres and spans 10 miles of road.”<\/p>\n

They said Cobham Services, which is 4.5miles (7.2km) along the M25 from junction nine, was also closed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ross Mendenhall, operations director at Extra MSA, which operates Cobham Services, said a lorry with a leaking fuel tank had entered the site, spilling diesel throughout.<\/p>\n

He added: “We are working as fast as we can to resolve the issue but estimate that the operation will take a few hours before we can safely re-open for vehicles.”<\/p>\n

Traffic monitoring site Inrix said the services closure was related to closures on the A24.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Surrey Highways spokesperson said: “Extensive traffic disruption is expected throughout today and over the coming days. <\/p>\n

“Drivers are advised to avoid the area until further notice and keep an eye on Surrey Highways social media channels for regular updates.”<\/p>\n

Surrey Police said there had been a “significant fuel spillage”, and roads were likely to be closed “for some time”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
