In pics: 'No sign of Gove' as traffic chaos hits Dover with lorries waiting for disrupted ferry services

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!”

Day 1 of the Easter getaway and parts of Kent are gridlocked.

Capacity at Port of Dover is down 1/3 as P&O can’t sail.

DFDS IS operating but one of its ships “Dover Seaways” hit the berth in Dunkirk in heavy storms last night and is out of service.

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”.

A2 closed, Dover town gridlocked and the port is rammed once through border control. I only got here by knowing some back routes. pic.twitter.com/uJExqaZLIz

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
