Drivers are experiencing significant delays on the M20 eastbound between Junction 11 (Hythe) and Junction 11A (Eurotunnel), with hold-ups reaching 90 minutes.
There have been no accidents or incidents reported. The congestion is caused by heavy Easter getaway traffic flooding the route towards the South East coast.
To help ease the traffic, National Highways crews have closed the Junction 11 eastbound entry slip road. Kent Police and National Highways Traffic Officers are actively managing the situation to reduce disruption.
Before you set off, it is important to complete your TRIP checks:
- Top-up: Ensure fuel, oil, and screen wash are all topped up.
- Rest: Long delays can be tiring, so take a break every two hours.
- Inspect: Check tyres for proper tread and pressure.
- Prepare: Pack water, snacks, and warm clothes to cope with changing conditions.
Full TRIP check details can be found on the official National Highways website.
If you are travelling this way, plan for extra journey time. Consider rerouting or delaying your travel if possible. For live traffic updates, visit Traffic England or follow your local National Highways Twitter feed.
