Strong winds battering the county have seen emergency safety measures introduced at the Dartford Crossing.
Two lanes have been closed to traffic this morning on the QEII Bridge.
Lanes two and four are shut to separate vehicles making their ways across the structure, in case the gusts see them pushed into each other.
The move comes as a weather warning remains in place for the county.
The Met Office said Kent will continue to be hit by string winds and heavy rain until late afternoon.
