Part of a road which links Hythe to Canterbury will be closed for a week due to flooding.
Two days of heavy rainfall has left a section of Stone Street B2068, near Stanford, under water.
Images show vehicles becoming stuck while trying to pass through the large pool of water.
The road has now been closed between the M20, at junction 11, and Blind House Lane after it started flooding yesterday.
It is not expected to open again until Thursday, March 12.
In the meantime, drivers are being diverted via Swan Lane.
In total, there are 60 road closures in Kent due to bad flooding, following two days of heavy downpours.
The conditions have caused chaos for drivers and left car parks across the county out of action - including the Stour Centre car park in Ashford and the M&S car park in Canterbury.
In addition a caravan park has been evacuated for the second time in three weeks.
The banks of the Royal Military Canal in Hythe are also bursting.
