Traffic in Dover is at a standstill as Operation Brock continues to cause travel chaos, reports Kent Live.

The A2 Jubilee Way is closed coast-bound as lorries wait for ferry services, which are severely disrupted.

Heavy traffic in Dover after A2 Jubilee Way closed due to Operation Brock as lorries wait for disrupted ferry service.

It comes after huge delays yesterday, when traffic stretched for miles on the M2 and M20.

A Department for Transport spokesman said: “We are aware of queues at Dover, and the Kent Resilience Forum and local partners are working to minimise any disruption by deploying temporary traffic-management measures as standard.”

Barry Sheerman tweeted: “Chaos at Dover but no sign of Michael Gove or any other Government minister!”

Operation TAP is full, Operation Brock is filling. 8 miles of queues on the A20, trucks have been queuing for 8 hours on the M20. A2 is blocked going into Dover. “It’s a mess,” a source close to things in Kent tells me. “But things are starting to move”.

Been sat for two hours so far at the port entrance in Dover, such a mess. We have got a very long wait ahead of us. #POFerries #dfds #brexit #BrexitHasFailed #BrexitBritain pic.twitter.com/EzJxxzZctS

Oops. Perhaps a useful reminder that there may not be long queues at Dover every day as a result of increased checks, but the possibility of them is much higher than before. https://t.co/kJ2U35D1VF

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
