Overnight lane closures – Monday 20 to Thursday 23 November
While we carry out work in the verge, there will be overnight lane closures on the M20 coastbound between junctions 9 and 10 from Monday 20 to Thursday 23 November, 8pm to 6am each night. A lane will always remain open on the main carriageway, and you’ll still be able to join and leave the coastbound carriageway as usual.
Bridge repairs being carried out under the M20
We’re carrying our essential repairs and maintenance to the Great Stour River bridge.
This work is being carried out from underneath the bridge and, for everyone’s safety, the foot and cycle path is temporarily closed.
As we’ve not found the secret of how to walk on water yet, we’ve set up a special pontoon over the river to work from.
Covering an area of roughly 550m2 (that’s around the same as two tennis courts), the pontoon allows the team to get under the bridge and makes repairs while the motorway continues to flow above.
Foot and cycle path diversion route
An alternative route is available via Heathfield Road, Canterbury Road and Kinneys Lane. We estimate this will add approximately seven minutes to your journey time, if travelling by foot.
Please note that these works are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
