M20 closed coast bound for cars/vans/local traffic
However the other cariageway should always remain open to cars/vans/local traffic, with 2 lanes for each direction, even if its 50mph. Not sure how this would work at junction 8, separting French bound HGVs, and cars/local traffic, but maybe a second on/off slip road just for this purpose at junction 8 is the answer.
Consultation has concluded.
