Operation Brock still in place on M20 ahead of predicted traffic disruption


A record number of post-pandemic passengers are booked to cross the channel in July and August on ferries from Dover and via Le Shuttle.

To ensure that traffic can flow as smoothly as possible in these circumstances, the Operation Brock traffic management scheme was reinstated on Thursday 13 July and will remain in place until further notice.   

Authorities expect to see peak tourist traffic travelling via Eurotunnel and Port of Dover this weekend and delays for freight traffic going to/from Eurotunnel and Dover are very likely. If you can, the Department for Transport is  is advising that you consider altering your plans to avoid the peak period. If you cannot change your plans, please be aware: 

  • If Operation Brock and Dover TAP is in operation, Police and DVSA enforcement teams will be operating across Kent to ensure compliance. 
  • You may also be asked to delay your exit from truck stops in the area, especially if local roads are disrupted. 
  • Please check the information provided by Eurotunnel (web link) and Port of Dover (web link) before you travel, and ensure you have supplies of food and water, particularly in hot weather.
