M20 closed overnight to remove contraflow system

A stretch of motorway in Kent will be closed overnight so a traffic-holding system for the Channel ports can be removed.

Operation Brock is a contraflow system on the M20 in Kent, between junction eight, near Leeds Castle, and junction nine, near Ashford.

The M20 towards London will be closed between junctions nine and eight, and coast-bound from junction seven to nine, from 20:00 GMT on Monday.

National Highways says the road will reopen at 06:00 on Tuesday.
