Traffic had already been building on the road due to two serious crashes on the M11 overnight last night.
The southbound side of the motorway remains closed between Stansted Airport and Harlow.
Highways England says it aims to re-open the road "ASAP".
Traffic is also heavy on the A131 from Braintree towards Chelmsford as drivers try and avoid the A120 and M11.
Update 11am
The crash on the A120 westbound carriageway has now cleared and congestion has now eased.
