A21 Southbound Shut Due to Flood Havoc
The A21 southbound is completely closed between the A228 at Pembury and the B1260 at Kippings Cross. Flooding has flooded the carriageway, forcing the shutdown.
Highways Scramble to Clear Floodwaters
Highways England have deployed a full team to clear blocked drains and pump away the standing water. But with the Met Office forecasting rain to pound down all night, reopening the road could be tricky.
Expect Major Delays and Longer Routes
Drivers should brace for heavy delays approaching the closures. Diversion routes will also be busier, adding precious minutes—or hours—to your journey.
