KENT NEWS:
Phase One of Operation Stack – in which the M20 is used to hold lorries travelling towards the Continent – is being implemented by police today (Thu, Feb 11).
The decision was made due to the volume of traffic building up at the Channel Tunnel and Dover.
In Phase One, the M20 is closed coastbound between junction 11, the Hythe turn-off, and junction 12, the Cheriton turn-off at Folkestone.
All coastbound traffic has to leave the motorway at junction 11.
Lorries are allowed back down on to the motorway, where they park between the two junctions.
All other traffic is diverted on to the A 20.
Motorists are advised to avoid the area unless their journey is absolutely necessary.
Cross-Channel travellers are advised to check with their operators before setting out.
