A serious incident has led to the closure of the A20 in Kent, eastbound, between the B2011 (Courtwood) and the A256 (Dover). The incident, which occurred at approximately 7.43am this morning, has necessitated a multi-agency response led by Kent Police, with National Highways assisting in traffic management.

The closure of the carriageway is expected to last for several hours as emergency services work at the scene. Motorists caught within the closure will be released via the rear of the queue as soon as it is safe to do so. National Highways and police personnel will provide instructions to drivers on when to turn.
