Drivers will need to contend with a series of overnight closures on the M20 this week as multiple projects progress. As part of a large resurfacing effort beginning on Monday, June 17, the M20 will see weeknight closures between Junctions 4 and 6.

Closures will take place between 8pm and 6am on these nights, starting on the east-bound carriageway from June 17 to June 29. While the road is closed, traffic will be diverted via the A228, M2 and A229.

Separate improvement works will also see the M20 east-bound closed between Junctions 2 and Junction 5 on multiple nights this week. Meanwhile, a closure of the QEII Bridge is planned this coming weekend, following the overnight closure on Saturday, June 15 for emergency repair works.
