A20 Eastbound Shut After Multi-Car Smash in Kent

The A20 in Kent is completely closed eastbound between M20 Junction 13 and the B2011 (Church Hougham) following a multi-vehicle collision. Kent Police, emergency crews, and Highways England officers are at the scene dealing with the chaos.

Traffic Chaos: Follow Diversions or Expect Delays

Clean-up and recovery work is underway, but drivers face serious hold-ups. Officials are urging road users to follow the “Hollow Circle” diversion signs. The alternative route takes you along the A259, then onto the A260 eastbound, through Capel-le-Ferne, before rejoining the A20 at the Courtwood Interchange.

Plan Ahead: Extra Travel Time Essential

  • Expect delays – allow plenty of extra time
  • If heading this way from afar, consider changing your route
  • Keep an eye on on-road variable message signs and media updates

Stay tuned for further updates as emergency teams work to clear the wreckage and reopen this busy stretch of road.
