The M20 Operation Brock contraflow is in operation

We've deployed the contraflow at the request of the Kent and Medway Resilience Forum. This is due to expected high passenger numbers at the Kent ports over the summer holiday period.

Operation Brock is part of a series of measures to make sure traffic flows smoothly when cross-channel services are disrupted.

While the contraflow is active

You should follow all signs.

HGVs

All HGVs heading for the Port of Dover or Eurotunnel must follow signs to join Operation Brock at M20 junction 8.

All other coast bound traffic – including local freight and car drivers heading for the continent

Follow the signs and crossover to enter the contraflow on the M20 London bound carriageway. 

Plan ahead

If you're travelling over the holiday period, allow more time for your journey and make sure you're prepared for delays.

Follow our driving advice and have a safe T.R.I.P.

Be prepared for driving in hot weather.
