M20 Closed As Operation Stack Is Brought Into Action

M20 closed as operation stack is brought into action

The M20 coastbound in Kent is closed between junctions 8 and 9 as part of Operation Stack. HGVs destined for Dover Port and Eurotunnel Terminals will be ‘stacked’ on the M20 coastbound between junctions 8 and 9 until the situation improves. A diversion route is in place for light vehicles approaching the closure and is advised to follow the Hollow Black Circle symbol. At junction 8, non-HGV traffic may exit the M20 and join the A20 coastbound via Harrietsham and Charing, to re-join at junction 9. Road users further afield travelling towards Dover may also wish to consider using the A2.
