Lane restrictions have begun to be applied on the A12, A13 and A40.
By 11:50 BST the situation on the three roads had improved, although there was still heavy traffic on the A13 and A40, with congestion on approach roads.
Transport for London had warned journeys on the roads may take "considerably longer than usual".
27-Year Sentence For 1966 Murder
A convicted child killer has been sentenced to a minimum of 27 years in jail for the murder of a girl in Berkshire 46 years ago.
Yolande Waddington, 17, who worked as a nanny, was found strangled in the village of Beenham in October 1966.
David Burgess, 64, was already serving a life sentence for killing nine-year-old girls Jeanette Wigmore and Jacqueline Williams in Beenham in 1967.
He was charged with Yolande's murder following advances in DNA techniques.
The jury at Reading Crown Court convicted Burgess on Friday by a majority verdict of 11 to one following a five-week trial.
