M20 Westbound SHUT After Serious Safety Fault Detected
The M20 westbound between Junction 1 and Junction 3 (London-bound) has been slammed shut after a major safety defect was spotted just after 8.14pm tonight.
Experts uncovered the dangerous fault during routine checks and immediately closed the carriageway to protect drivers. Teams are working flat out, but there’s no word yet on when the road will reopen. Expect heavy delays for the foreseeable future.
How to Dodge the Jam
Drivers are urged to avoid the closure by taking the M26 westbound and then hopping on the M25 anticlockwise. This route allows you to rejoin the M20 at Junction 1 and steer clear of gridlock.
