Major road closures on the A20 near Folkestone have sparked diversion chaos for drivers travelling eastbound and westbound. The closure of the Roundhill Tunnel is causing significant delays, so motorists are advised to plan ahead.

Eastbound Drivers: Follow the Hollow Circle diversion route. Exit the M20 at Junction 13 onto A259 Churchill Avenue. Travel east to the A260 Canterbury Road roundabout. Take the first exit onto A260 Canterbury Road heading north. At the Spitfire Way roundabout, take the third exit onto the A20 coastbound.

Westbound Motorists: Watch for the Hollow Square symbol and follow the reverse of the eastbound diversion route.

Drivers affected by the closure should expect delays. It is recommended to plan your route carefully, consider alternative routes, or delay your trip to avoid disruption.

For travellers heading to France via Kent ports, extra time should be allowed. It is important to confirm travel details with your operator before setting off.
