Traffic has been building on the M20 near Folkestone this afternoon following an earlier problem in the Channel Tunnel.

Queues stretched onto the coast-bound slip road at J11A because of disruption caused by a technical fault.

It left waiting time of up to two hours to freight Eurotunnel services earlier this afternoon.
