A major route in Canterbury was blocked in both directions after a crash.

Police were called to the scene of the collision on the A28 Sturry Road.

Kent Highways posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, shortly before 1pm to warn the road is blocked in both directions near South Street.

“Approach with caution and expect delays,” it said.

It is understood the road has been cleared.

A police spokesperson confirmed officers were called to a collision involving a car and a motorbike at about 12.40pm.

“Officers attended the scene in Sturry Road, Canterbury, to assist with clearing the road,” they said.

It comes as the closure of the A28 Wincheap continues to cause traffic chaos.

The road was closed by firm SGN two weeks ago to repair a damaged network, with a spokesman saying last week they hoped to reopen it on Monday, and hours had been increased from 7.30am until 11pm. But the route remains shut today.

Last week, residents told of how the major route’s closure was causing “absolute carnage” with an ambulance among the vehicles stuck in standstill traffic.

Side roads have become gridlocked as motorists try to find a way in and out of Canterbury.
