Default Dartford Crossing: real time info on QEII Bridge closures?

The site where you get your Dart Tag doesn't appear to carry that sort
of information, so the best bets are the BBC traffic news and AA
Roadwatch, but neither *predicts* a bridge closure - merely reporting
the ensuing delays after they have happened.

Does anyone have a favourite site which is more helpful?


The BBC Kent and Southern Counties traffic news programmes were
recently predicting that the QEII Bridge would be closed, because they
had closed one of the tunnel bores in readiness.

I suspect that knowing the wind speed is the best guide, but at what
level they close or restrict the bridge probably depends on the
direction. Northerly or southerly winds will not be as bad as westerly
or easterly winds.
