Drivers face gridlock on the M20 eastbound between Junction 11 (Hythe) and Junction 11A (Eurotunnel), with delays hitting a hefty 90 minutes.
Why the Hold-Up?
No accidents or incidents reported. The jam is caused by heavy Easter getaway traffic flooding the route towards the South East coast.
To ease congestion, National Highways crews have shut the J11 eastbound entry slip road. Kent Police and National Highways Traffic Officers are out in force managing the chaos.
