Drivers on the A3 faced severe delays this morning when two lanes were closed after a mobile crane broke down.
Recovery work on the crane, which began just after 7am this morning, meant that two lanes were closed between the Tolworth roundabout and the New Malden junction on the A3 Malden Way, Kingston bypass.
A Kingston police spokesman said: "Traffic officers attended the scene and lane one was closed whilst awaiting recovery.
"Lane two was subsequently closed to enable recovery of the vehicle.
"All lanes were reopened at approximately 9.45am."
