The M20 motorway is currently closed in both directions, causing significant traffic congestion for drivers. The closure extends between junction 2 (A20 London Road near Brands Hatch) and junction 3 (M26 interchange).

All lanes on both carriageways are blocked, resulting in traffic coming to a complete standstill. Motorists are facing severe delays as a result of the shutdown.

National Highways has confirmed that the closure is due to a police-led incident, although specific details about the situation have not been released.

Authorities have warned that the motorway could remain closed for several hours. Emergency services are on site managing the incident and working to resolve the disruption.

Drivers are strongly advised to avoid the area and use alternative routes to bypass the traffic congestion caused by the closure.

This major disruption underlines the importance of staying informed and planning journeys carefully. For the latest updates on this breaking news and other travel information, follow our live blog and listen to kmfm for continuous traffic reports.
