Major Smash Shuts A2 Near Port of Dover
A huge crash has forced the A2 to close both ways, causing chaos near the Port of Dover. Kent Police and emergency services rushed to the scene, sparking major travel headaches for motorists.
Where and Why?
The smash happened between the A258 and A20 junctions on the A2. The road is completely shut so emergency crews can deal with the wreckage and police can carry out a full investigation. It’s a serious incident that’s brought traffic to a grinding halt.
How Long Will It Last?
Officials say the closure could be in place for several hours. They need time to clear the scene safely and wrap up their investigations. Drivers should brace themselves for a lengthy wait.
Detours and Traffic Chaos
- Eastbound or southbound traffic should follow the solid circle sign. This diverts vehicles along the A258 south to Castle Hill, then the A256 south to the A20.
- Westbound or northbound traffic must follow the solid square sign, heading along the A20 west and A256 north to the Whitfield roundabout.
Expect heavy delays both approaching the closure and on these diversion routes. Motorists are urged to allow extra time or consider alternative journeys.
