A 21-mile stretch of the coastbound M20 remains shut today due to Operation Brock.

The major route is closed to non-freight traffic between Junction 8 for Maidstone and Junction 11 for Hythe.

Brenley Corner continues to be used as a stopping point for lorries, with the busy Faversham junction down to one lane.

The coastbound A2 Jubilee Way at Dover also remains shut.

DFDS is now warning of delays of 90 minutes but asking passengers to check in as normal.

Named 'Operation Brock Zero', the heightened measures came into force last Wednesday following days of previous disruption.

Lorry queues in the Brock zone are now almost non-existent but the stretch between Maidstone and Hythe remains closed.

Over the past two weeks, the trouble has been blamed on the suspension of P&O services, bad weather, a damaged DFDS fleet, Easter traffic and IT issues.

It is not known when the M20 will reopen.

A traffic order for Brenley Corner to stay down to one lane is set to be enforced until April 30.
