M20 Traffic News, M2, M26, M25 Accident Reports And Delays
This link for the Kent local news as well as traffic, travel and weather updates. You can check out the links below for real time M20, M2, M25, M26 traffic delays and planned engineering work and scheduled closures.
If you're looking at possible delays on the M20 you must factor in Operation Stack. Operation Stack is the name given to the system of 'stacking' lorries on the M20 when the Channel Tunnel or local ports are blocked. First used in 1991, it's employed on average four times a year. When it's in force delays on the M20 and surrounding roads can be considerable and you may consider finding an alternative route. If you want M25 resources visit our M25 Traffic News (AA Roadwatch, Highways Agency, Traffic England links).
