Why Was The M20 Closed ?

On Sunday 24/07 I had to travel to Lydd. I checked and found that the M20 SB was closed from J 8 to J12. I followed the diversion and arrived in Lydd without any issues. On the way home I joined the M20 at J10A expecting to find the whole of the SB carriage ways full of trucks. Nothing for miles then a couple of miles of trucks in the carriage ways allocated to them to J8. There was not a single truck in the contra flow carriage ways ! So why was the M20 closed ? Just seems easier to close the M20 and let everyone in the area suffer.

Idea ? Hold the trucks outside of Kent, convoy them in and let someone else suffer for a change ? Sadly not a real option..
