Tailbacks are reaching as far as Hatfield, with speeds of around 10mph on average.

Queues of up to 11 minutes have also been reported on the nearby A1(M) southbound, and Doncaster city centre is slower than typical as a result.

It comes as the M18 will be fully closed in both directions at junction 2 from 8pm tonight (September 20) until 6am tomorrow morning to remove the temporary barriers.

During the full closure, traffic will be diverted up and over the exit and entry slip roads at junction 2.
