In the early hours of Sunday morning, the London-bound section of the A20 near Dover was closed following an incident involving an overturned heavy goods vehicle (HGV). According to Kent Police, officers responded to the situation at 01:20 GMT, leading to the closure of the carriageway to facilitate vehicle recovery.
The affected area extends between the A256 for Dover and the B2011 at Capel-le-Ferne, with expectations that the road will remain closed for most of the morning. National Highways indicated that this closure was necessary to ensure the safety of the specialized recovery teams operating at the accident site.
Motorists have been advised to follow a diversion route via York Street and the B2011, and National Highways has suggested that travelers allocate extra time for their journeys or consider postponing travel altogether.
