The M1 has been closed in both directions after a body was found in bushland next to the motorway.
Part of the main road, between junctions five and six near Watford, was closed at around 3pm on Monday after the gruesome discovery.
Police said the death was being treated as “unexplained” and drivers were facing long delays during the evening rush hour.
By 6:30 p.m., the southbound section was reopened, and the northbound route was reopened a little after 10 p.m. on Monday evening.
One of the three northbound lanes has been closed since this morning.
A spokesman for Hertfordshire Police said on Monday: “We were contacted earlier this afternoon after a man’s body was found in undergrowth by the side of the motorway between junctions five and six.
“Police officers are currently working to determine the circumstances of the man’s death, which are currently unexplained, and will remain on the ground tonight and tomorrow.”
