OPERATION BROCK

The Operation Brock contraflow system is designed to keep traffic on the M20 and
other roads in Kent moving when there is disruption to travel across the English
Channel




STATUS OF OPERATION BROCK

M20 is open

 


ALERTS

We'll use these alerts at the top of this page to tell you the status of
Operation Brock:

M20 coastbound between junctions 8 and 9 open for EU freight only

Non-EU freight and all other vehicles must leave at junction 8 and follow the
diversion route using the A2, M2 and A20. EU freight should stay on the M20 and
join the queue.

M20 London bound between junctions 9 and 8 is open as normal.

M20 coastbound between junctions 8 and 12 open for EU freight only

Non-EU freight and all other vehicles must leave at junction 8 and follow the
diversion. EU freight should stay on the M20 and join the queue.

M20 London bound between junctions 12 and 8 is open as normal.

M20 is open with contraflow in use

M20 is open

M20 is closed coastbound between junctions 8 and 9

When there’s any sort of disruption in the channel, HGV traffic on the M20
heading for the Port of Dover or the Eurotunnel has nowhere to go.

‘Brock’ is a contraflow that can be set up overnight. It separates traffic into
different lanes across both carriageways and keeps the M20 and other local roads
open and moving.

It means, once the contraflow is in, if you’re on the M20 but not going to the
port or the Eurotunnel, you can continue your journey as normal. At the same
time, it helps control how port-bound HGVs make their way to the Port of Dover
or the Eurotunnel.

Freight drivers - be sure to use the correct lane

Use an M20 contraflow lane if you’re delivering to a location in Kent or
returning to base in Kent.

Use the correct coastbound Brock lane if you’re travelling to Europe including
via services or the Inland Border Facility.


MAINTENANCE

From time to time, we'll need to close the M20 to maintain the moveable concrete
barrier.

You can find out more about routine closures on our Travel Alerts page or by
following our regional Twitter feed.
