The A21 in Kent is currently closed northbound between the A225 (Morleys Roundabout) and the A25 (Sevenoaks) due to an earlier road traffic collision and subsequent emergency barrier repairs. While emergency services have cleared the scene and the vehicles involved have been removed, significant disruptions continue as repair work is underway.
Traffic officers are on site managing the strategic closure and coordinating with contractors who are working diligently to restore the barrier to safe conditions. Motorists are advised to expect delays and are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly.
A designated diversion route has been established for northbound traffic:
- Depart the A21 at Morleys Roundabout.
- Proceed northbound on the A225 towards Sevenoaks.
- Continue on the A224 upon reaching Sevenoaks, heading towards the A25 junction.
- Follow the A25 westbound to re-join the A21 near Chipstead.
Drivers impacted by the closure are advised to follow the hollow square diversion signs posted along the route. Those planning to travel through this area should allow extra time for their journey or consider delaying their travel plans.
