Default Traffic Jams in SE London

Does anybody know what is causing the huge tailbacks in Evelyn Street
approaching Surrey Quays for traffic heading into central London? The
tailbacks go all the was past Greenwich.


Too many bus lanes around the one-way section and up to the Rotherhithe
tunnel, plus roadworks between the tunnel entrance and Bermondsey tube
station (although it's only the bus lane which is closed - really it's the
bus lane which is the problem, not the roadworks). For the last couple of
mornings there's been a big queue into the tunnel too so I wonder if there's
something up on the north side where the tunnels exits.
Me? I use the bus lanes on my motorcycle :-) There's very few cameras and
even if I get caught, it's worth it for the amount of time I save...
