M20 CLOSED Both Ways Between J5 and J6 After Infrastructure Failure – Major Delays Expected

M20 Shuts Down Between J5 and J6 After Infrastructure Failure

The M20 is completely closed in both directions from Junction 5 to Junction 6. Drivers face delays of at least 15 minutes across several miles as Highways England rushes to fix the damaged infrastructure.

Expect Chaos and Long Delays

If you’re near the closure, prepare for major disruption and possible rerouting. Long-distance travellers should consider alternative routes and allow extra travel time. Keep an eye on on-road signs and media for updates.

Partial Relief with Distributor Link Road

For now, traffic can exit and use the distributor link road between J5 and J6, which runs parallel to the motorway in both directions. But expect slow-moving traffic and more delays ahead.

Highways England crews are working flat out to reopen the M20 and ease the snarls as soon as possible.
