As the new week began with travel chaos on the M25, journeys around Kent will also be impacted by a number of overnight closures over the coming days. Throughout Monday (October 21), a key stretch of the M25 was shut by a large fire near Sevenoaks, while closures at the Dartford Crossing caused further disruption.

Looking ahead, road users will need to be aware of numerous overnight closures that will impact the county’s major motorways and A-roads. This includes the M2, M20, M25, A2, A20 and A20.

The westbound carriageway of the M20 will see closures between Junction 9 for Ashford and Junction 8 near Leeds Castle. On Friday, October 25 and Sunday, October 27 this stretch of the M20 will shut overnight from 8pm to 6am for carriageway works.
