Just Stop Oil has told ITV Meridian its protesters have returned to the M25 motorway this morning.
The campaign group said it has targeted 5 locations on Britain's busiest motorway, bringing traffic to a standstill.
It also told ITV Meridian it is working with fellow group, Animal Rebellion, in this morning's protests.
This morning has seen wide-scale disruption to journey's and several incidents on the M25.
On the northern part of the M25 Essex Police said it has arrested a person for 'causing a public nuisance' on the motorway whilst dealing with an incident.
One of their officers were struck while implementing a rolling road block to protect the pedestrian in the road between J26 and J27.
On the same stretch a lorry was involved in a collision, causing further delays for commuters.
Police have since closed the road clockwise.
Traffic monitoring service, Inrix, is reporting the road has been closed clockwise between Junction 7 for Gatwick Airport and 8 for Reigate due to the protesters.
Traffic has backed up to Gatwick Airport on the M23 as drivers try to use extremely busy local a-roads.
Meanwhile, in the anticlockwise direction the road has been closed between 9 for Leatherhead and 8 for Reigate.
National Highways is also reporting protesters have targeted the road between Junction 4 and Junction 5 for the M26.
Currently two lanes are closed in a clockwise direction between the two junctions, causing traffic to build up.
Protests have now been reported on the M25 near to Heathrow Airport, with the anticlockwise blocked, delays due to demonstration between J14 A3113 Airport Way (Heathrow) and J13 A30 (Staines).
Elsewhere, all traffic is being temporarily held and queueing for two miles due to further protests on the M25 clockwise before J30 for A13
Essex Police has sent a specialist officer, trained to work at heights to remove the individual from the gantry at Junction 30.
A similar operation is now in force at Junction 29, where another person has climbed a gantry there.
Yesterday much of the M25 was brought to a standstill due to protests by Just Stop Oil, who had targeted multiple sections of the motorway.
Efforts to disperse Tuesday's protests across the road involved the Metropolitan, Surrey, Kent and Essex police forces.
They have asked people stuck in traffic as a result of protesters to stay in their vehicles and not obstruct the hard shoulder.
This is a developing story. More to follow.
